Hi,
I think it is /etc/cron.daily/mlocate wichi internally runs updatedb -
"update a database for mlocate"
Check your /etc/cron.daily/mlocate.
This anacron job runs every day and update your mlocate database.
You can disable it or just move it to /etc/cron.weekly/ or
/etc/cron.monthly/ is up to you.
How many times do you use the mlocate command per day? :-p
Best regards
