If I run it manually I dont't get any error message. Could this be the cron
job
#!/bin/sh
. /etc/updatedb.conf
[ "$DAILY_UPDATE" != "yes" ] && exit 0
nodevs=$(< /proc/filesystems awk 'BEGIN { f = 1; }
$1 == "nodev" { if (!f) printf (","); f = 0; printf $2; }')
renice +19 -p $$ >/dev/null 2>&1 fault? This is what my daily cron scrit looks
This is the /etc/updatedb.conf:
# Set DAILY_UPDATE to yes to enable running updatedb
DAILY_UPDATE=yes
PRUNEFS="selinuxfs usbdevfs NFS nfs afs sfs smbfs cifs autofs auto iso9660 udf"
PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /usr/tmp /var/spool/cups /var/spool/squid /var/tmp /afs /net /sfs /selinux /udev /media"
