If "slocate" is similar to "locate" in its operation, updating the database (using its analog to "updatedb") should be scheduled as a cron job, to run daily at some opportune time (on my Debian systems, the installation default is around 6:30 AM, as part of the "cron.daily" directory of scripts). If your system is not running 24/7, you might need to replace cron with a variant (like anacron) that is designed for systems that are not always on.[Note: My question doubles as a test message. I had trouble with aliasing, and so please make sure your reply to this message does not go to an obviously invalid address. Thank you.]The gnome-search-tool (RedHat 8.0) returns the warning: "warning: locate: warning: database /var/lib/slocate.db' is more than 8 days old." Is this database supposed to update itself automatically? If not, how is that done? (you would think there would be a utility for that built into the interface)
