In previous Linuxes I had the mlocate package installed. If I remember correctly, you could set the /etc/updatedb.conf to specify which directories were to be skipped for cron and a manual call to “sudo updatedb”. And I wanted to do that on a new Linux with the findutils locate package. How do you configure findutils locate and updatedb? Well, as I discovered, you can configure updatedb for cron, probably because it doesn’t run interactively.
