Take a look in "/etc/cron.daily", you should see "slocate.cron".  You can
move this into "/etc/cron.weekly" or "/etc/cron.monthly".

You can also edit "/etc/crontab" to change the time that the cron.daily
scripts get run.  The format of the crontab file is:

minute hour day month weekday username command

where a * means to match all values.
