Indeed, cron.daily does have: renice +19 -p $$ >/dev/null 2>&1 /usr/bin/updatedb -f "nfs,smbfs,ncpfs,proc,devpts" -e "/tmp,/var/tmp,/usr/tmp,/afs,/net" I'm not sure of the syntax here, but off hand this looks more like a reprioritization of processes than a command to rebuild a database. The updatedb file is a binary, so don't know if it has a scheduler. In any case, /var/log/cron does not have an entry fpr updatedb. I do run continuously.
