Fixed *annoying* error with the weekly files. Do you get these whenver

/etc/weekly is run?

Rebuilding locate database: stty: stdin isn't a terminal TERM: Undefined
variable.

'su' apparently runs in root's environment before doing a seteuid(), so
it reads root's .cshrc.  The problem lies in the fact that $prompt is
*always* set by the time the command is executed, so you can't protect
your interactive commands from the non-interactive commands by the
normal:

if ($?prompt) then
   # interactive stuff here
endif

Set the -f flag (su -fm) which causes it not to read root's .cshrc file,
since there should be no reason to do so for these scripts since
/etc/crontab sets up all of the necessary environment.
