For a few years I've used a very simple cron to update my ports. Every morning
I get a friendly mail with the outcome.
/etc/crontab:
15 4 * * * root /home/root/cvsup_update
/home/root/cvsup_update:
#!/bin/sh
/bin/date
cd /usr/ports
sudo -u cvsupin svnsync sync file:///home/freebsd-svn/base
sudo -u cvsupin svnsync sync file:///home/freebsd-svn/ports
sudo -u cvsupin svnsync sync file:///home/freebsd-svn/doc
svn up
/usr/local/sbin/portsdb -uU
/usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -a -F
/usr/local/sbin/portversion -v | grep -v "up-to-date"
/bin/date
Since upgrading to FreeBSD 10 and migrating to pkgng (at the same time), I
noticed the mails stopped. Upon investigating the script is hanging at
"portupgrade -a -F" when some ports need updating.
Using "kill" a couple of times to free up the job, I eventually get the
following mail:
see: http://www.knigma.org/scratch/home_root_cvsup_update_cronmail.txt
Before killing the job to get the mail I ran ps, here are the relevant
processes after the job had been stuck for several hours:

If I run portupgrade -a -F at the shell prompt everything is fine - but this
helps to illustrate where the cron is misbehaving.

I'd appreciate any thoughts on why this is getting stuck please?
Thanks!
