Yes, you CAN run them - but it depends on the following: Do you have portinstall / portupgrade installed, and do you use it? Then it's always wise to run pkgdb. The program portsdb belongs to the same port. If these commands fail, you don't have portupgrade installed. Before you use the script, you should try to use its steps manually first, just to make sure they work. In an abbreviated form, update can go like this: #!/bin/sh cd /usr/ports make fetch-index make update pkgdb -uvF portsdb -u cd /usr/src make update Again, it's important that /etc/make.conf and the control files for the update program - csup or cvsup - are correct. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
