  I have the diffs here, altough it is pretty trivial. I removed the line in
  sync(2) that hints at cached data being lost in a crash. Should that read
  something like `Information in the cache is lost in a crash'?

 I think it would be better to supply a man page for update(8).  The
 process is still existing, it's only that there's no longer a separate
 binary executable for it.
 
 Of course, the man page should mention how to tweak the update
 interval.
