If you want to update > from the ports, use 'pkg_version -c |sh' Never, ever, *ever* do this. "pkg_version -c" is a hack to make cut-n-paste easier.

But you should never run the commands automatically. N -- Internet connection, $19.95 a month. Computer, $799.95. Modem, $149.95. Telephone line, $24.95 a month. Software, free.
