[OpenIndiana-discuss] svc:/system/update-man-index is slow

[Richard L. Hamilton]

Perhaps better, to be consistent with what I see elsewhere in method scripts, one line should be further changed to use full paths of executables:
        if [ -d "${p}" -a -f "${p}/whatis" ] && [ "$(/usr/bin/find "${p}" -newer "${p}/whatis" | /usr/bin/wc -l | /usr/bin/tr -d ' ')" == "0" ]; then

The attached change to /lib/svc/method/update-man-index should (I think) only update the directories (if any) that are not current, so that most of the time, it finishes in a second or so rather than a couple of minutes (less clutter in svcs -xv shortly after system comes up).
