It's not necessary to turn it on at night. Launch Service will find  
that it missed launching it and then repeat at working hours. It just  
seems that it takes a long time to find and conclude. So, when your  
desktop Mac is on too rarely it might miss performing the weekly runs  
every weekend ...

Yes and no! I made an addition to the daily duties. Usually  
locate.updatedb runs on the weekend.

Yes, this is one way.

For me: too slow, outside the shell, no filtering. (No interrupt  
button, too?)

There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX.  
We don't believe this to be a coincidence.
