My scripting skills are not that good.
To avoid interaction when scripting or logging portmaster, in addition to the --no-confirm option, I usually set the following environment variables prior to invocation: BATCH=yes PAGER=cat The former should avoid any build-time port interaction (and mark the port BROKEN if it must, so I can deal with it manually); the latter causes portmaster to use 'cat' instead of 'more' to display the pkg-messages afterwards. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net <cyber...@cyberleo.net> Furry Peace! - http://www.fur.com/peace/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
