JMAKEWHATIS.LOCAL(8)

NAME
jmakewhatis.local, jcatman.local - start jmakewhatis or jcatman.local for local file systems

SYNOPSIS
/usr/local/libexec/jmakewhatis.local [options] directories ...
/usr/local/libexec/jcatman.local [options] directories ...

DESCRIPTION
jmakewhatis.local start jmakewhatis(1) only for file systems physically mounted on the system where the jmakewhatis.local is being executed. Running jmakewhatis by periodic weekly for rw nfs-mounted /usr may kill your NFS server -- all NFS clients start jmakewhatis at the same time! So use this wrapper for cron(8) instead of calling jmakewhatis directly. jcatman.local is using for same purposes as jmakewhatis.local but for jcatman(1).
