WEEKLY(5) FreeBSD File Formats Manual WEEKLY(5)
NAME
weekly, weekly.conf - weekly maintenance
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/weekly script is run, by default, every Saturday morning on a
NetBSD system. The /etc/weekly.conf file specifies which of the standard
weekly services are performed.
The variables described below can be set to "YES" or "NO" in the
/etc/weekly.conf file. The default settings are in the
/etc/defaults/weekly.conf file. (Note that you should never edit
/etc/defaults/weekly.conf directly, as it is often replaced during system
upgrades.)
rebuild_locatedb This rebuilds the locate(1) database,
/var/db/locate.database, which must also exist, in
order to be rebuilt.
rebuild_mandb This rebuilds the apropos(1) database /var/db/man.db,
using makemandb(8) with the -f option.
rebuild_whatisdb This rebuilds the whatis(1) database(s). Note that
NetBSD provides a default whatis.db for the system
manual pages and this may not be needed. (Adjust your
/etc/man.conf as necessary; see man.conf(5) for
details.)
