locate:
* updatedb from findutils is different than its Linux counterpart. It doesn't use /etc/updatedb.conf. Run it like so:
* updatedb --prunepaths='/afs /media /mnt /net /sfs /tmp /udev /var/cache /var/lock /var/run /var/spool /var/tmp /Recovered.Items /.DocumentRevisions-V100 /.MobileBackups /.Spotlight-V100 /.Trashes /.fseventsd /Groups /Shared /Shared.Items /private/tmp /private/var/cache /private/var/lock /private/var/run /private/var/spool /private/var/tmp /Applications /Library /System'

  /.DocumentRevisions-V100 (equivalent of .git for Versions)
  /.Spotlight-V100         (spotlight indexes)

* Replace spaces with dots because of some oddity related to updatedb using regexes

* cron jobs
