Re: [cobalt-users] Locate Command

["John Andrews" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have you tried rebuilding the database for locate? Try the following as root

/etc/cron.daily/updatedb.cron

This will take a few minutes with nothing showing what's happening but your files are being cataloged for the locate command.

Hope this helps.
