I running 10.3 on an old notebook. Every time the system boots mandb
runs and slows things down. What's the recommended way to solve this
problem?

Thanks
Paul

Hi

There is a cron job which starts approx 15 mins after a reboot, the job
lives in /etc/cron.daily the time is runs can be modified with
YaST /etc/sysconfig editor or manually edit /etc/sysconfig/cron (I set
mine to run at 1:15am).

and, if you boot at 8 AM (local) it will run about 8:15 (about 15
minutes after the first boot of the day which begins at midnight local)..

but, if you set it to run at (say) 12:15 PM (when you expect to be
having lunch) then it will run without bothering you (unless you shut
it down for lunch..

(mine is set for 11:30 AM)
