Hi, Is there a way to tell which ports might require dialog input

Stop doing this.
Your update scripts do not read /usr/ports/UPDATING.
Your update scripts do not read package changelogs.
What you're doing is irresponsible, and potentially dangerous/harmful if
your server is in production.
You should really be very careful about this.
i do of course read those files (which require daily checking to confirm
usually no relevant changes, but thats another issue!)..
however i don't need to read UPDATING on every box, (this tool is an
assistent, not a replacement, for monitored updates.)
i do need to check that an update that went fine on the initial test box
will behave the same on other boxes, which is my question,
can i tell if the options dialog is going to be invoked?
thanks
Paul.
I'm afraid I can't see an option in portmanager that would handle this.
I think you portupgrade's --batch mode might be the answer to your
question though.
I use portupgrade's --batch or portmaster's PM_MAKE_ARGS='BATCH=true'.
The BATCH variable is recognized in ports' makefiles so there should
be a way in portmanager too.
OP may want to look on 'make config-recursive'.
