WARNING: The locate database (/var/db/locate.database) does not exist.
To create the database, run the following command:

  sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.locate.plist

Please be aware that the database can take some time to generate; once
the database has been created, this message will no longer appear.

LEARN ABOUT NETBSD

weekly.conf

WEEKLY(5)						      BSD File Formats Manual							 WEEKLY(5)

NAME

     weekly, weekly.conf -- weekly maintenance

DESCRIPTION

     The /etc/weekly script is run, by default, every Saturday morning on a NetBSD system.  The /etc/weekly.conf file specifies which of the stan-
     dard weekly services are performed.

     The variables described below can be set to ``YES'' or ``NO'' in the /etc/weekly.conf file.  The default settings are in the
     /etc/defaults/weekly.conf file.  (Note that you should never edit /etc/defaults/weekly.conf directly, as it is often replaced during system
     upgrades.)

     rebuild_locatedb  This rebuilds the locate(1) database, /var/db/locate.database, which must also exist, in order to be rebuilt.

     rebuild_mandb     This rebuilds the apropos(1) database /var/db/man.db, using makemandb(8) with the -f option.

     rebuild_whatisdb  This rebuilds the whatis(1) database(s).  Note that NetBSD provides a default whatis.db for the system manual pages and
		       this may not be needed.	(Adjust your /etc/man.conf as necessary; see man.conf(5) for details.)

FILES

     /etc/weekly	weekly maintenance script
     /etc/weekly.conf	weekly maintenance configuration
     /etc/weekly.local	local site additions to /etc/weekly

SEE ALSO

     daily.conf(5), monthly.conf(5)

HISTORY

     The /etc/weekly script first appeared in 4.3BSD.  The /etc/weekly.conf configuration file appeared in NetBSD 1.3.
