[gentoo-user] fcron driving me crazy
Hi, every fcron is starting updatedb. I dont need this service on a daily basis. I am starting updatedb by hand if I need a fresh db. But I need a full fcron installed for other purposes, so I need to find the script, which tells fcron to start updatedb. I have tried to disable all scripts, but it seems, that I am not able to do so ;) I edited also roots fcrontab and my own fcrontab to not to start updatedb -- they are fixed. My question: Where are other things installed, which trigger updatedb on a daily basis? Kind regards and thank you very much in advance for any help! mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
