I did:
systemctl enable mlocate-updatedb.service
(no error)
but it still does not seem to be enabled:
● mlocate-updatedb.service - Update a database for mlocate
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mlocate-updatedb.service; static; vendor
preset: disable
Active: inactive (dead)
Sep 19 23:15:02 teucidide systemd[1]: Stopped Update a database for mlocate.
Sep 19 23:15:03 teucidide systemd[1]: Started Update a database for mlocate.
systemctl is-enabled mlocate-updatedb.service
static
Is it OK ?
