Thanks! The funny thing is, I do in fact already use their monitoring, however, I never noticed that utility to upload the output from pkg_info, that's pretty slick. Notification was not my primary goal, but rather a secondary benefit of having a tool to update specific ports. -Daniel -----Original Message----- From: randall ehren [mailto:randall@ucsb.edu] Sent: Sunday, January 05, 2003 4:47 PM To: Daniel Goepp Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: RE: Selecting a specific list of ports to update > And have it just updates those specific apps, not the whole branch.

(you still have to manually download the port, or update your tree) -randall -- :// randall s. ehren :// voice 805.893.5632 :// systems administrator :// isber|survey|avss.ucsb.edu :// institute for social, behavioral, and economic research To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
