Both 'portupgrade' and 'portmanager' have configuration files that can contain information on programs you want stopped and started when being updated, as well as ones you want ignored completely. -- Gerard "Being with a woman all night never hurt no professional baseball player.

What problems are you seeing? Normally, you don't need to go into single user mode. Like Pietro said, portupgrade -F will fetch distfiles for you. Then you can do the upgrade, check config files and restart services later. HTH, Karol -- Karol Kwiatkowski OpenPGP 0x06E09309 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

portupgrade: Download -> single user -> upgrade
Hey! I was wondering if anybody could give me a quick cheat sheet for how to automatically: 1) Download all outdated ports 2) Switch to single user mode 3) Upgrade those ports Running portupgrade -a doesn't work very well when it's time to upgrade running processes. I assume this involves a bit more than just the portupgrade commands? Thanks a lot.
