Correct, I hit the wrong button, sorry about that :) Thanks for the links, I have one more question. I have been trying to have "pkg updating" sent along with my email so I can properly update things when it comes time, but I'm having difficulty with grep. If I do a "pkg updating | grep 2014" , I only get the date and a link. If I do a "grep -A 20 2014" it obviously includes 20 lines, but that may or may not work for every update entry. I'm not very experienced with grep, so how would I have it match only 2014 entries, or even just have pkg only show recent entries and skip the older ones entirely. It seems counter-intuitive to include every update entry a pkg may have ever had. Thanks!
