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