February 15, 2007 WEEKLY.CONF 5

### NAME

weekly.conf - weekly maintenance configuration file

### DESCRIPTION

The weekly.conf file specifies which of the standard ```/etc/weekly` services are performed. The ```/etc/weekly` script is run, by default, every Saturday morning on a NetBSD system.

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 database, ```/var/db/locate.database`, which must also exist, in order to be rebuilt.

rebuild_whatisdb
  This rebuilds the whatis 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.)
