The following is what is run daily in cron:

# cat /etc/cron.daily/slocate.cron
#!/bin/sh
 /etc/updatedb.conf
[ "$DAILY_UPDATE" != "yes" ] && exit 0
renice +19 -p $$ >/dev/null 2>&1
/usr/bin/updatedb

I don't see any reason why you would want to run it during boot. If you wish
to manually run it at any time, just use:

# updatedb&
