Hi, I'm often use portupgrade in combination with sudo from an SSH session and up till now I've never been able to put the portupgrade process in the background so that it can finish its job and I can safely exit the SSH session. Whenever I've done this the portupgrade process seems to die and I never successfully create the desired port(s). I find that I always have to be on a "live" session during the entire portupgrade build process for it to finish successfully. Is this the normal behavior? Is it really impossible to properly put the protupgrade process in the background? Or am I just doing it all wrong? I've tried different combinations of: sudo portupgrade <package> & sudo -b portupgrade <package> sudo -b sh -c "portupgrade <package> > /home/<user>/build.out 2>&1" all to no avail... -Martin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
