NAME

local file systems
SYNOPSIS
/usr/local/libexec/jmakewhatis.local [options] directories ...
/usr/local/libexec/jcatman.local [options] directories ...
DESCRIPTION
jmakewhatis.local start jmakewhatis(1) only for file systems physically
mounted on the system where the jmakewhatis.local is being executed.
Running jmakewhatis by periodic weekly for rw nfs-mounted /usr may kill
your NFS server -- all NFS clients start jmakewhatis at the same time!
So use this wrapper for cron(8) instead of calling jmakewhatis directly.
jcatman.local is using for same purposes as jmakewhatis.local but for
jcatman(1).
