If you set things up in cron to run fink as root then a password won't be required. Try "fink -y update-all", too (cf. 'man fink') That being said, Fink isn't perfectly set up perfectly to work in an unattended fashion--you may find that some packages fail to download on 'update-all', for example, and that will stop your attempt to update. - -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk01tWMACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ+CFQCgjmHk9LVeDiIAmDFb3MD91njn /nIAnRHdm2/PArtpPlG/aPBw4v3GrPuM =id1H -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
