For mass updating you can try the script utility, on FreeBSD there is an additional '-q' parameter. $ script -q /tmp/MyScriptLog pkg .... $ col -xb < /tmp/MyScriptLog > /tmp/MyScriptLog.readable On other platforms: $ script /tmp/MyScriptLog $ pkg .... $ exit (exits only the script util) $ col -xb < /tmp/MyScriptLog > /tmp/MyScriptLog.readable Now all outputs are covered in the log (stdout and stderr) -- br. olli _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
