Hi,
I am trying to remove all the ".svn" directories and their contents from
/var/db/locate.database. The uncommented entries in /etc/locate.rc look
like this:
# /etc/locate.rc - command script for updatedb(8)
#
SEARCHPATHS="/"
#
PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp"
PRUNEPATHS="${PRUNEPATHS} /var/db/portsnap"
PRUNEPATHS="${PRUNEPATHS} /mnt"
PRUNEPATHS="${PRUNEPATHS} /usr/src-test"
#
PRUNEPATHS="${PRUNEPATHS} '/*/.svn'"
#
FILESYSTEMS="ufs zfs"
pstree output looks like this:
|-+= 06945 root sh /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate
| \-+- 06950 root su -fm nobody
| \-+= 06951 nobody su (bash)
| \-+- 06952 nobody /bin/sh /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb
| |--- 06955 nobody find -s / ! ( -fstype ufs -or -fstype zfs ) -prune -or -path /tmp -prune -or -path /usr/tmp -prune -or -path /var/tmp -prune -or -path /var/db/portsnap -prune -or -path /mnt -prune -or -path /usr/src-test -prune -or -path '/*/.svn' -prune -or -print
| \-+- 06956 nobody /bin/sh /usr/libexec/locate.mklocatedb -presort
| \--- 06958 nobody locate.code /tmp//locate8nuvNUT2eT/mklocateXYh7Vi1XUR/_mklocatedb6956.bigrams
As you might have guessed, this doesn't work, although running this
command[1] in a shell produces the result wanted. What's wrong, and how
do I fix it?
[1] find /usr/src-main/ -path '/*/.svn' -prune -or -print
-c
