Hey Gang, I am somewhat new to the FreeBSD stuff. After getting used to the cvsup way of life, I added this to my crontab: # Package database maintaince 25 2 * * * root /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 /root/cvsup/ports-supfile && /usr/local/sbin /portsdb -uU 0 1 * * 6 root /usr/local/sbin/pkgdb -aF # Should probably do this manually from time to time #0 4 * * 6 root /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -aRy Note that I don't actually run portupgrade from cron anymore. Any suggestions on better flags or ways of doing any of these tasks? What do you all have in your crons? Note that this is a desktop system, not a production server. But what if it was a production server? Shuold I do anything differently? tia, dan
