I have two questions, the first regarding CVSup and cron jobs, the second about port upgrade. I've gotten cvsup working correctly. It is following 5_1_RELENG and "." for ports. I want to do a daily check using crontabs and have created one under root. However, my daily mail says that it can't find cvsup. IS this just a simple fix by putting in the full path or am I missing something? Second, I was following the portupgrade tutorial for upgrading your installed ports at onlamp. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/08/28/FreeBSD_Basics.html I ran "portupgrade -arR" about 9pm on Thursday. It is now 5pm on Friday and it's STILL running. My box isn't the fastest on the block, but it is a Dual P2 300 (running SMP) with 256 megs of RAM and am running X , Apache2, and PHP aside from the standard setup/ I guess my question is more a concern in that I inadvertantly installed ALL the ports in the collection. Did I? Manning portupgrade, the -a says "upgrade all INSTALLED" with the "r"'s being forward and backwards recursive, but 20 hours? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
