[KLUG Members] slocate

[Eric Beversluis]

I'm exploring slocate and note that I get a warning, "warning: slocate:
warning:  database /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db' is more than 8 days
old."

The man page gives a command to create the db but no info on when or how
it gets updated. Apparently this does happen as the db exists (I didn't
create it) and seems reasonably up-to-date.  What is determining when
and how it gets updated?

(BTW, the website listed in the man page
( http://www.geekreview.org/slocate/) does not seem to exist.)
