DESCRIPTION

     The makewhatis.local utility starts makewhatis(8) only for file systems
     physically mounted on the system where the makewhatis.local is being exe-
     cuted.  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.

FILES

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