Subject: how do I start cvsupd?

I'm in the process of starting up a freebsd mirror site.  The port appears 
to have installed correctly.  cvsupd was going out and asking for files.  
It wasn't getting any because it was looking at freefall.freebsd.org and 
it was not configured for my firewall.

So I've modified /usr/local/etc/cvsup/update.sh to include "-P -" to 
select passive mode.  I've also changed /usr/local/etc/cvsup/config.sh to 
include the following line:

host="cvsup.au.FreeBSD.org"

My problem is not knowing how to start cvsupd from the command line.

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/cvsupd.sh contains:

! /bin/sh

if ! PREFIX=$(expr $0 : "\(/.*\)/etc/rc\.d/cvsupd\.sh\$"); then
    echo "$0: Cannot determine the PREFIX" >&2
    exit 1
fi
base=${PREFIX}/etc/cvsup
out=/var/tmp/cvsupd.out

export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:${PREFIX}/sbin
umask 2

test -x ${PREFIX}/sbin/cvsupd || exit 1
echo -n " cvsupd"
cd ${base} || exit
. ./config.sh || exit
su -m ${user} -c \
    "cvsupd -e -C ${maxclients} -l @${facility} -s sup.client" >>${out} 
2>&1


But if I run it I get:

[root@ns:/usr/local/etc/rc.d] # ./cvsupd.sh 
./cvsupd.sh: Cannot determine the PREFIX

I'm assuming PREFIX should be /usr/local.  But that's as far as I can get.

cheers.
