Here is my cron task, I do it weekly.
#!/bin/bash
# /etc/cron.weekly/portage-sync.cron
emerge sync &>/dev/null
# I should put a check in here to make sure that the
# emerge sync is completed sucessfully.
temp=`emerge -DUuvlp world`
# temp will now have all the lines of the new updates
# and their respective changelog entries. (thanks to
# Dhruba Bandopadhyay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>!)
if [ "$temp" != "" ]; then
echo $temp | cat -s | mutt -x root
emerge -uUDf world
else
echo "Nothing to update?!" | mutt -x root
fi
#end of /etc/cron.weekly/portage-sync.cron
