My locate database is not being updated. If I run the script in /etc/periodic/weekly this is the output: [root@boxH50:/etc/periodic/weekly]# ./310.locate Rebuilding locate database: [root@boxH50:/etc/periodic/weekly]# That takes about 1 second. This is an ls on the db file. [root@boxH50:/etc/periodic/weekly]# ls -l /var/db/locate.database -r--r--r-- 1 nobody wheel 5911 Jun 24 14:31 /var/db/locate.database [root@boxH50:/etc/periodic/weekly]# If I just run locate.updatedb as root, it works, but as soon as the periodic script runs, the database is reduced to the above. Any thoughts? -Ben Polidore
