    Here's a neat little script you can run from cron or commandline. I use
    it to update the ports tree and the source tree for 5-STABLE. Feel free
    to change the cvsup logging to suit (I don't log the ports, but I do log
    important STABLE src stuff). Also, use the correct country for mirrors.

    You need to install cvsup, portupgrade, fastest_cvsup, and if you want,
    try freebsd-update. The portupgrade line at the bottom may not be
    needed by many. But this way, I already have the latest ports
    distfiles, if I want, so when I am ready to run portupgrade, the
    download is already on my disk.

    Ensure you put your cvsup files in the right place (or edit the script
    below.) I run this every other day on FreeBSD 5.4. The logs help me
    see what needs to be updated. (Every time it runs, it will show you
    what ports could be updated. It will also show you what files were
    updated in the source tree.)

    my cron entry:
    33 2 */2 * * /root/mydaily.sh 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null

    Weekly is like this:
    33 2 * * 3 /root/mydaily.sh 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null

    ***********/root/mydaily.sh*********
