Log:
   Document the PAGER environment variable
Sometimes users want to use freebsd-update(8) in a non-interactive way and
   what they often miss is that they have to set PAGER to cat(1) in order to
   avoid interactive prompts from less(1).
Which was caused by the change of invoking more(1) as less(1) causing
this regression, as when invoked as more(1) it falls off the end of
empty input and causes no such interactive prompt.

Setting PAGER to more(1) also fixes this.

Mmm, I'm not sure if that would work. If I run "jot 1000 | more" in my terminal I still get an interactive prompt. Could it be that you are referring to a different more(1) implementation? I'm clearly missing something.
