Title: Cron Daemon
Post by: Malin Lessenne on August 15, 2003, 10:01:30 AM

I get the message in my e-mail to root@univi.com that reads as follows:

Subject:

Cron run-parts /etc/cron.daily

Body:

/etc/cron.daily/slocate.cron:

updatedb: invalid option -f
Usage: updatedb [--localpaths='dir1 dir2...'] [--netpaths='dir1 dir2...']
       [--prunepaths='dir1 dir2...'] [--output=dbfile] [--netuser=user]
       [--old-format] [--version] [--help]

I recieved one today, and one yesterday, both at exactly 04:02 (AM).

What is is, and what shall i do about it?

Go to specified dir and look into slocate.cron where it says updatedb -f. Type updatedb --help.
