40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Nm
43utility starts
44.Xr makewhatis 8
45only for file systems physically mounted on the system
46where the

51for rw nfs-mounted /usr may kill
52your NFS server -- all NFS clients start makewhatis at the same time!
53So use this wrapper for
54.Xr cron 8
55instead of calling makewhatis directly.
56The
57.Nm catman.local
58utility is using for same purposes as
59.Nm
60but for
61.Xr catman 1 .
