I bet portsdb is putting its progress messages on standard output. (Programs
seem to do that a lot, since stderr is unbuffered). Try:
/usr/local/sbin/portsdb -Uu >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "FAILED to run portsdb"; exit 1 }
That will not give you the error output, but if there's an error it will say so and
exit.
(You can run portsdb manually and see!)

Cvsup script question
Hi, I'm cvsup'ing from a script in /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily. Here 'tis: #!/usr/local/bin/bash Echo Echo "Output of cvsup:" /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/cvsupfile Echo Echo "Output of portsdb:" /usr/local/sbin/portsdb -Uu Echo Echo "Output of portversion:" /usr/local/sbin/portversion It works, but (1) produces a ton of output, (2) I'm seeing a lot of lines in the output of portsdb that say, "(some port) non-existent, dependency list incomplete". Are those lines in the output of portsdb coming from STDOUT or STDERR, or are they completely normal? How about we alter the script as follows to keep the output down a little? #!/usr/local/bin/bash /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 0 /etc/cvsupfile # Keep quiet except for errors /usr/local/sbin/portsdb -Uu > /dev/null # Hopefully, show only errors Echo Echo "Updated ports:" /usr/local/sbin/portversion | grep "<" # Show only changed ports Will these changes break anything?
