.Nm
start
.Xr makewhatis 1
only for file systems physically mounted on the system
where the

is being executed. Running makewhatis
from
.Pa /etc/weekly
for rw nfs-mounted /usr may kill
your NFS server -- all NFS clients start makewhatis at the same time!
So use this wrapper for
.Xr cron 8
instead of calling makewhatis directly.
