Thanks for a very spirited discussion. I've always had problems with the ports, even after reading the handbook, this helped considerably.

Now. I have one other issue if I use cvsup to sync the ports tree, which I can do as a cron job do I still have to use portupgrade or would that be redundant?

I have used cvsup and this is what it produces =>

The file --
cat /usr/local/sup/supfile
*default host=cvsup.ca.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress
ports-all tag=.
The command line --
cvsup -g -L 2 /usr/local/sup/supfile
Parsing supfile "/usr/local/sup/supfile"
Connecting to cvsup.ca.freebsd.org

It seemed to have been running, why would it timeout, there did not seem to be any interactive mode.

Thanks again
