.SH NAME
update_state \- update system state
.SH SYNOPSIS
.BR update_state
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B update_state
updates a bunch of system state. It takes a long time to execute, and
would be suitable for execution in a cron job.
Currently,
.B update_state
performs the following functions: updates the locate database (in
.IR /usr/lib/locate ), updates the whatis database (in
.IR /usr/man ", " /usr/local/man ", " /usr/X386/man ", and "
.IR /usr/interviews/man ),
and updates the TeX ls-R cache file (in
.IR /usr/lib/texmf ).
.SH BUGS
The script expects things to be where the FSSTND says they are.
example, if you have
.BR makewhatis (8)
in
.IR /usr/lib ,
where it would be traditionally, then you lose, because it should be in
.IR /usr/bin .
.SH "SEE ALSO"
