I see. Now then, how about the following change? It does not change
the default behavior while it lets users have options to pass CVSup
any command line options such as `-s':
Index: files/update.sh

So we could schedule CVSup e.g. as follows:
45 0-6,8-23 * * * root nice -15 /usr/local/etc/cvsup/update.sh -s
45 7 * * * root nice -15 /usr/local/etc/cvsup/update.sh
Neat, eh? :)
