But one think puzzles me above all else. when i attempted to run "locate", it said something about the database being too small, i just assumed this is because the install is so new that "/etc/weekly" hasn't had a chance to run yet, but to my horror "weekly" was not in /etc. And i can't find it since locate doesn't yet work. So today i copied the /etc/weekly script from a different box (freebsd2.2.8). And ran that, and i can now locate... but my question(s) are: 1) Why wasn't there a script called "weekly" in the /etc dir ? 2) The fact that the script was missing was due to "weekly" being missing right ? 3) Is it ok to continue to use the "weekly" script from the 2.2.8 machine on the 3.4 box ? (if not where do i get the new "weekly" ? 4) What went wrong ? thankyou inm advance for any help you may be able to give, regards, rob carmichael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
