Frontend for Updatedb and Locate?
Hello all,
I was wondering if there existed a frontend for updatedb and locate? I have been wanting to give back to the community that has given me so much (I won't even go into how much headache you've all saved me at work) and I thought that a frontend to updatedb and locate would be nice. Perhaps allowing it to update itself once per day or every X amount of minutes. Just a thought. Anyways, if such a project exists, I will probably look elsewhere. If not, I thought that it could be useful for a few people out there. Let me know what you think! tbeehler |
I wouldn't xactly call that a front-end, but I
use cron for that ;) Cheers, Tink |
True. I just thought that perhaps something like that might be useful to someone somewhere. :) Anyways, thanks for your feedback!

An over-kill alternative would be to use
AIDE (Tripwire, Samhain, ... ) to monitor file-system activities and trigger updatedb on such and such event ;) Cheers, Tink |
Yeah I've already started working on it. I've already got the main GUI programmed and am now working on the code beneath. :)
