|
|
updates to the FreeBSD base system.
|
|
Note that updates are only available if they are being built for the
|
|
FreeBSD release and architecture being used; in particular, the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
Security Team only builds updates for releases shipped in binary form
|
|
by the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
Release Engineering Team, e.g.,
|
|
.Fx
|
|
6.1-RELEASE and
|
|
.Fx
|
|
6.2-RC1, but not
|
|
.Fx

command, if any, to

|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh COMMANDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm command
|
|
can be any one of the following:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "-f conffile"
|
|
.It Cm fetch
|
|
Based on the currently installed world and the configuration
|
|
options set, fetch all available binary updates.
|
|
.It Cm cron
|
|
Sleep a random amount of time between 1 and 3600 seconds,
|
|
then download updates as if the
|
|
.Cm fetch
|
|
command was used.
|
|
If updates are downloaded, an email will be sent
|
|
(to root or a different address if specified via the
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
option or in the configuration file).
|
|
As the name suggests, this command is designed for running
|
|
from
|
|
.Xr cron 8 ;
|
|
the random delay serves to minimize the probability that
|
|
a large number of machines will simultaneously attempt to
|
|
fetch updates.
|
|
.It Cm install
|
|
Install the most recently fetched updates.
|
|
.It Cm rollback
|
|
Uninstall the most recently installed updates.
|
|

|
|
.Sh TIPS

|
|
.It

If your clock is set to local time, adding the line
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl 0 3 * * * root /usr/sbin/freebsd-update cron
|
|
.Pp
|
|
to /etc/crontab will check for updates every night.
|
|
If your clock is set to UTC, please pick a random time
|
|
other than 3AM, to avoid overly imposing an uneven load
|
|
on the server(s) hosting the updates.
