Hello I have a script which syncs in round robin around europe and then emails a list of updates and number of updates to me. Mostly, it works fine but there is an oddity that I have not been able to figure out. The script does two checks for updates:
(1) emerge -Dup world > <logfile> (2) emerge -Dup `qpkg -I -nc` > <logfile> Now, given that this is a fully up to date machine both checks should produce /a similar/ number of updates. However, when run every morning, the first check produces the correct number of updates but the second check run immediately afterwards produces zero updates! When I run it manually it behaves correctly! I can't think why it would behave differently in a script to manual typing into a shell. The script is attached for your perusal. Any feedback much appreciated. With regards
sync.cron
