What I've done is the following 1. created a file in /etc/periodic/daily called 800.update-sources 2. 800.update-sources calls the script /usr/local/etc/sources 3. /usr/local/etc/sources does a 'cd /usr/src' and performs an 'make update' 4. in /etc/make.conf I have 'SUPFILE=/usr/local/etc/cvsup/stable-supfile', 'SUPFILE1=/usr/local/etc/cvsup/ports-supfile' Pretty simple. Just use any of the scripts in '/etc/periodic/daily' as an example. I usually do a buildworld & installworld by hand, but I'm going to begin a weekly automated buildowrld on my -CURRENT boxes, because I'm finding out that this would be the most prudent thing for me ... #;^) HTH > --------------------------- > > -BMW- > > Don't just stand there!
