Don't quote me here 'cause I'm about as unaware as anybody when it comes to
what goes on in the wee hours of the morning.
I've noticed after nobody does his hunting, my locatedb mysteriously gets
updated to include new files that weren't there an hour ago. Comparing the
load at 1AM and again when I manually updatedb, they appear about the same.
Must be a cron.
