well, I'm stumped. I added two lines too root's crontab (one to run updatedb at boot time, one to run it daily) but there's no sign this is actually happening. There's also no log that records anything of cron; I even tried to enable Syslog via /usr/builtin/etc/log/log.conf but I see no /var/log/syslog appearing. If I run the 'updatedb' command manually I can tell it has run because the timestamp of the database changes - this also doesn't happen after reboot, so it looks like the job isn't running at all. But why?? #confuzzled !linux
