I guess redhat/fedora like to run updatedb automatically... how can I shut this off? It starts updating when I'm trying to watch a dvd or something like that and takes all the cpu usage and lagges everything.
This shows a command file that is run daily on my RedHat system. You could delete it or
use the crontab command to delete it. See man crontab for details.
Your database of files will gradullay become out of date if you do not run updatedb. You could arrange to run it when you are away from your computer or sleeping or whatever.
