Being a FreeBSD newbie, I have a simple question...

Got portupgrade. Pretty spiffy. But some of the apps (Ghostscript, PHP)
require user input when they are made - so they stop the rebuild of my
system. Is there a way that I can specify the answers to these inputs (I
pick the defaults on all of them) and then can go to bed with the update
running...and its done in the morning... :)

Thanks!


type
# env BATCH=yes portupgrade  

options may be sth. like '-rf', ports should be those ones you want to 
upgrade.
