MAKEWHATIS.LOCAL(8) DragonFly System Manager's Manual MAKEWHATIS.LOCAL(8)
NAME
makewhatis.local -- start makewhatis for local file systems
SYNOPSIS
/usr/libexec/makewhatis.local [options] directories ...
DESCRIPTION
The makewhatis.local utility starts makewhatis(8) only for file systems
physically mounted on the system where makewhatis.local is being
executed. Running makewhatis(8) by periodic weekly for rw nfs-mounted
/usr may kill your NFS server -- all NFS clients start makewhatis at the
same time! So use this wrapper for cron(8) instead of calling makewhatis
directly.
FILES
/etc/periodic/weekly/320.whatis run makewhatis.local every week
SEE ALSO
find(1), cron(8), makewhatis(8), periodic(8)
