Xfind - find at eXternal machines and drives

Xfind a new idea to do mmfinder (https://github.com/mmagnus/mmfinder). This is more like a concept so I encourge you to fork it if you wish and change it for setup.

server <-> client:

magnus@malibu:~/bin$ cat xfind.sh
locate -d ~/.local.db $@

magnus@malibu:~/bin$ cat xfind_update.sh
updatedb --require-visibility 0 -o  ~/.local.db -U /home/magnus;

and make dbs of external drives:

updatedb --require-visibility 0 -o  ~/.hd.db -U /mmt/HD;

Good:

• fast!
• update under crontab on remote machines
• offline locate search for drives

Bad:

• you have to have access to machines to do a search (or istead of ssh /cmd/ do a local database sshfs-ed drive (ee external drives)
