Without realizing the time it would take to complete, I issued the command sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb . What happens if I kill the process?
Pergunta
Will killing the process cause problems if I shutdown and reboot immediately after doing it? I am running OS 11.2.3 (Big Sur) on Mac Mini.
Solução
No. It just runs find
command in the background to collect all file names and then it creates file name database from it. In any case you can simply rebuild the database by running
sudo rm -r /var/db/locate.database
and then
sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb
in order to use locate
command.
