MacOS X updatedb |
August 7, 2006
A new MacOS X install has no locate database. If you don't want to wait for the weekly cron to run, do this:
ln -s /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb /usr/bin/updatedb updatedb
Now the 'locate' command will actually return something!

That's been bugging me for a while: Locate works fine, but when I just download/install a bunch of files and want to find one in particular, can I ? No. But now I can...
Thanks

Book Recommendation: 
Professional Assembly Language covers assembly language for the Pentium microprocessor environment. This code-intensive guide shows programmers how to create stand-alone assembly language programs as well as how to incorporate assembly language libraries and routines into existing high-level applications. It demonstrates how to manipulate data, incorporate advanced functions and libraries, and maximize application performance. The examples use C as a high-level language, Linux as the development environment, and GNU tools for assembling, compiling, linking, and debugging. |
