Then perhaps a simple:
if crontab -l | grep -v '^#' | grep 'freebsd-update.*cron'; then
echo "$0: WARNING: Cron-enabled 'freebsd-update cron' detected, please
disable before running freebsd-update upgrade (see the manual for more
details)"
exit 1
fi
could be added to the upgrade part of freebsd-update in order to save other
users (not always reading the manuals and/or remembering this warning) from
running into the same issue that is a pain to recover from...
Just a suggestion.
