There are no cron jobs for locate and whatis

[esc]

I just realized that there are no cron jobs for updating the locate and the whatis databases on my system. Has this a special reason, perhaps too high system load? Or is this just a peculiarity of the FC2 distribution?

The cron job is there, its just commented out as 90% of our customers don't know or care what locate is and its pointless using resources for nothing.

Just uncomment it if you want it.

Thank you Charles! I obviously didn't investigate deep enough. I've found those (three) cron-jobs and changed them back to active ...
