/var/log/cron reports me that cronjob was done. No I am not familiar
with ktrace, kdump etc.
man ktrace
man kdump
in a nutshell: ktrace shows the kernel calls that a process is
executing. It creates a dump file which you can view with kdump. similar
(better actually) than strace and whatever other ?trace found in linux.
First, I tell my custom script (with environment set by PATH=) to call
portsnap fetch && portsnap update, but he is unable to fetch anything
at all, therefore I started to use portsnap cron and I hoped to be
able to fetch it.
then it seems it's a portsnap problem and not cron...get it working in
your normal shell first and then focus on automating it. (btw, what's
wrong with (cd /usr/ports/ ; make update) , or a cvsup cmd line?)
