Re: [gentoo-server] Scripting fun

[W.Kenworthy]

Put something like this in [f]crontab:

%daily,lavg(1.5,2,2) * 3-9 root rsync --recursive --links --safe-links
--perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after
--stats --timeout=180
rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage/metadata/glsa/* /usr/portage/metadata/glsa/ ;glsa-check -n -l|grep "\[N";glsa-check -t all

glsa-check only does its magic on the current portage snapshot - the
above line rsyncs just the security stuff first.  Once done, get cron to
mail it as here.
