MAKEWHATIS.LOCAL(8)					    BSD System Manager's Manual 				       MAKEWHATIS.LOCAL(8)

NAME

     makewhatis.local, catman.local -- start makewhatis or catman for local file systems

SYNOPSIS

     /usr/libexec/makewhatis.local [options] directories ...
     /usr/libexec/catman.local [options] directories ...

DESCRIPTION

     The makewhatis.local utility starts makewhatis(1) only for file systems physically mounted on the system where the makewhatis.local is being
     executed.	Running makewhatis by periodic weekly for rw nfs-mounted /usr may kill your NFS server -- all NFS clients start makewhatis at the
     same time!  So use this wrapper for cron(8) instead of calling makewhatis directly.  The catman.local utility is using for same purposes as
     makewhatis.local but for catman(1).

FILES

     /etc/periodic/weekly/320.whatis	  run makewhatis.local every week
     /etc/periodic/weekly/330.catman	  run catman.local every week

SEE ALSO

     catman(1), find(1), makewhatis(1), cron(8), periodic(8)

HISTORY

     The makewhatis.local utility appeared in FreeBSD 2.2.
