Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.14 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 12 May 2013 05:38:01 -0000 I do some work on remote machines and sometimes I have a need to execute additional commands after for example a portmaster -a command. Normally I use the "&&" to separate commands but this does not work when portmaster displays pkg-messages. I cannot see in the portmaster manpage that there's a possibility to make the choice on displaying pkg-messages. Maybe a suggestion to further enhance portmaster in the future. To work around this I was thinking of maybe making a script that ran portmaster -a then a command to "press space" until one is sure that all messages has been displayed. On this I could need some help. My scripting skills are not that good. Thanks /Leslie
