[Bug 759574] Re: mlocate.updatedb does not call ionice

[David Fraser]

My mlocate script installed with the latest version in 14.04 in
/etc/cron.daily calls ionice, so this can be marked done

# See ionice(1)
if [ -x /usr/bin/ionice ] &&
    /usr/bin/ionice -c3 true 2>/dev/null; then
    IONICE="/usr/bin/ionice -c3"
fi

flock --nonblock /run/mlocate.daily.lock $IONICE
/usr/bin/updatedb.mlocate

Title:
  mlocate.updatedb does not call ionice

Status in “mlocate” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mlocate

  updatedb.mlocate can cause a lot of disk activity, and it is not a
  time-critical process.    Therefore, it should call nice and ionice so
  that it does not steal cycles or disk activity from foreground
  processes.
