Description:   Opened: 2004-02-05 10:59 0000 
In /etc/contab.daily, the default system installs two files: makewhatis.cron
and slocate. Apparently, the .cron suffix is not required ... So I wonder
whether it would be a good idea to name those files constistently either with
or without that suffix? 

I'm in favor of leaving it out.

i dont know of anything else that uses .cron ... kind of dumb imo

man and sysklogd uses .cron.  Anybody know of anything else?

------- Comment #3 From Peter Simons 2004-04-05 08:48:11 0000 ------- 
So, is there any chance of makeing the cron-script naming scheme consistent?
Personally, I am in favor of using the .cron suffix consistently.

man now installs makewhatis (no .cron)
