I re-state what Stroller said. What did you edit? And, please read the |
| 32 |
cron documentation (if memory serves, Gentoo has a nice cron |
| 33 |
documentation). |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Also, try mlocate. It is an optimized implementation of locate; its |
| 36 |
updatedb is faster and less IO-intensive. |
