[gonzalo@inferna ~]% grep port /etc/crontab # keep the port index updated and e-mail me a list of ports to update 0 3 * * * root portsnap -I cron update && pkg_version -vIL= (Im pretty sure I took that from the "The Best of FreeBSD Basics" but I can't find the original article ... I know it's buried in here somewhere though: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/ct/15... so .. Credit goes to Dru Lavigne. :) ) That results on a daily e-mail from cron that looks like this: " Cron <root@inferna> portsnap -I cron update && pkg_version -vIL= From: Cron Daemon <root@inferna.inferna.com.ar> To: root@inferna.inferna.com.ar Date: 2008-08-01 03:07 ImageMagick-6.4.1.8 < needs updating (index has 6.4.2.5) en-openoffice.org-US-2.4.0_3 < needs updating (index has 2.4.1) ffmpeg-2007.10.04_4 < needs updating (index has 2008.07.27_1) ghostscript-gpl-8.61_4 < needs updating (index has 8.62_3) gnupg-2.0.9_1 < needs updating (index has 2.0.9_2) gnutls-2.4.1 < needs updating (index has 2.4.1_1) kaffeine-0.8.6_1 < needs updating (index has 0.8.7) kdegraphics-3.5.8_2 < needs updating (index has 3.5.8_3) libgphoto2-2.4.2 < needs updating (index has 2.4.2_1) libxine-1.1.12_1 < needs updating (index has 1.1.14) linux-doom3-1.1.1286,0 < needs updating (index has 1.3.1.1304,1) pciids-20080312 < needs updating (index has 20080726) portmaster-2.5 < needs updating (index has 2.6) samba-libsmbclient-3.0.30 < needs updating (index has 3.0.31_1) speex-1.2.b2,1 < needs updating (index has 1.2.r1_1,1)" Then I get to decide whether or not to update a port, every port or do nothing and when to do it :D BTW: I use csup for the base system and portsnap and and friends for the ports collection :) Welcome and: have fun ! -- Blessings Gonzalo Nemmi
