Hi, > The first time I tried a file search under GNOME/SL 4, it mentioned > that updatedb had not been run previously. > > What file should I edit to make updatedb running during boot?

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& Regards, Michael.
