Subject: how to get info about system service?
Date: Sun, 08 Dec 2024 10:47:39 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87a5d6tsjo.fsf@h-brs.de> (raw)

Dear all,

so far I had not installed `(service file-database-service-type)` 
in my system config.
Since I would like to have `locate` running I played a bit with 
`updatedb` but `locate` is very slow this way.
That's why I not included `(service file-database-service-type)` 
into my system, run `system reconfigure` and rebooted.

My question now is: how can I find out if the service is actually 
running `herd status` doesn't show anything about this service.
It's supposed to run `updatedb` as a cron job but how can I find 
this `crontab` entry?

What I would actually like to do is find out if the configuration 
is as I expect it and run this service now once now.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers
Alex
