Re: [cobalt-users] Locate Command

["wires Russ" <rustywires@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think the locate command uses a database to do it's queries on.  The
updatedb command will create/recreate the locate database.  I would suggest
looking at the man pages for both "locate" and "updatedb"
at your prompt type:
     man locate

This should show you what you need to know.
Hope this helps,
Ernest
