It's what I use: /usr/sbin/mergemaster -v -t /usr/tmp/root.$(DATE) -w 120 2>&1 | tee /usr/tmp/merge.$(DATE); It's from a Makefile posted on FreeBSD Diary, with some adjustments. Oh, make sure /usr/tmp exists first. It'll take a few uses to become more comfortable with mergemaster, but once you get it you'll be quite glad. -- David Kanter djkanter@northwestern.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
