MAKEWHATIS.LOCAL(8)
MAKEWHATIS.LOCAL(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual MAKEWHATIS.LOCAL(8)

NAME

makewhatis.local, catman.localstart makewhatis or catman for local file systems

SYNOPSIS

/usr/libexec/makewhatis.local [ options] directories ...

/usr/libexec/catman.local [ options] directories ...

DESCRIPTION

The makewhatis.local utility starts makewhatis(1) only for file systems physically mounted on the system where the makewhatis.local is being executed. Running makewhatis by periodic weekly for rw nfs-mounted /usr may kill your NFS server -- all NFS clients start makewhatis at the same time! So use this wrapper for cron(8) instead of calling makewhatis directly. The catman.local utility is using for same purposes as makewhatis.local but for catman(1).

FILES

/etc/periodic/weekly/320.whatis
run makewhatis.local every week
/etc/periodic/weekly/330.catman
run catman.local every week
