Perhaps I should've expressed it better :-)
I've found all sorts of obscure commands (such as "security" and the
aforementioned "mdutil") mentioned on this list; now, how am I supposed to
know that they existed in the first place? I cannot find any sign of an
admin guide, and this 2nd-hand MacPro did not come with media.
It seems that I have to look at all the manfiles and wonder what they
do...
FWIW, 'apropos spotlight' will tell you that mdutil and mddiagnose
exist.
Sure, but my query was more of a general nature.
