Re: auto cvsup
Here's a neat little script you can run from cron or commandline. I use
it to update the ports tree and the source tree for 5-STABLE. Feel free
to change the cvsup logging to suit (I don't log the ports, but I do log
important STABLE src stuff). Also, use the correct country for mirrors.
You need to install cvsup, portupgrade, fastest_cvsup, and if you want,
try freebsd-update. The portupgrade line at the bottom may not be
needed by many. But this way, I already have the latest ports
distfiles, if I want, so when I am ready to run portupgrade, the
download is already on my disk.
Ensure you put your cvsup files in the right place (or edit the script
below.) I run this every other day on FreeBSD 5.4. The logs help me
see what needs to be updated. (Every time it runs, it will show you
what ports could be updated. It will also show you what files were
updated in the source tree.)
my cron entry:
33 2 */2 * * /root/mydaily.sh 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null
Weekly is like this:
33 2 * * 3 /root/mydaily.sh 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null
***/root/mydaily.sh*

There is another alternative to just doing the cvsup... Kövesdán Gábor wrote: Maher Mohamed wrote: how can i upgrade my cvsup weekly with an auto way? You should use crondaemon. Place the following line to the end of /etc/crontab: 15 4 * * 6 rootcvsup /some/path/to/supfile The number six represents the sixth day of the week, the 15 is the minute number and the second is the hour, thus this will run on every Friday (if I remember correctly, I'm not sure the numbering starts with Sunday) at 4:15.

I can then use portupgrade as required. As a bonus, I can also run getupdates at any time to recheck the updates.

Re: auto cvsup
just add this line to your /etc/crontab 0 0 * * 5 root/usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 0 /usr/share/examples/cvsup/your_Cvsupfile this will run every friday midnight and update your files.
