MAKEWHATIS.LOCAL(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual MAKEWHATIS.LOCAL(8)
NAME makewhatis.local - start makewhatis for local file systems
SYNOPSIS /usr/libexec/makewhatis.local [options] directories ...
DESCRIPTION The makewhatis.local utility starts makewhatis(1) only for file systems physically mounted on the system where 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.
FILES /etc/periodic/weekly/320.whatis run makewhatis.local every week
SEE ALSO find(1), makewhatis(1), cron(8), periodic(8)
HISTORY The makewhatis.local utility appeared in FreeBSD 2.2.
FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE-p11 April 26, 1996 FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE-p11
