That will cause it to fail and the operator won't let it proceed. When using cron, you need to specify the full path because cron doesn't have access to all the environment variables your normal shell does. -- Lystic http://UnixNews.net http://unixnews.net/ /Leslie The script /root/bin/cv_portsnap_cron #!/bin/sh portmaster --clean-distfiles-all portmaster -aF Message received from cron: === Gathering distinfo list for installed ports === Checking for stale distfiles ]0;portmaster: All === Starting check of installed ports for available updates === Distfile fetching is complete libxul-1.9.2.9_1needs updating (index has 1.9.2.12) pciids-20101005needs updating (index has 20101020) Even so I do not get the distfiles downloaded.
