Yes it seems the updatedb is not done automatically in RH up to 7.3. Therefore, I put in my su (root) crontab (crontab -e) the following lines:
00 13 * * * updatedb -e /mnt/dos,/mnt/window 25 17 * * 1 mount /mnt/window; updatedb -U /mnt/window -e /mnt/dos,/,/usr,/usr/local,/home -o /home/peter/windowdb >> /dev/null 30 17 * * 1 updatedb -U /mnt/dos -e /mnt/window,/,/usr,/usr/local,/home -o /home/peter/dosdb >> /dev/null That way every day the data base is updated at 13 hour, except the dos and window partition and every Monday dos and window only are updated and put into a separate dos/window data base file.
