version of freebsd-update, but I took it out when I rewrote everything and added FreeBSD Update to the base system because I didn't think it was useful. It turns out that quite a few people liked it and wanted it back. Requested by: Royce Williams + others MFC after: 2 weeks

|
|
.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

Store working files in
|
|

or as given in the configuration file.)
|

(default:
|
|
.Pa /etc/freebsd-update.conf )
|

|

|
|
.Ar KEY .
|
|
(default: read value from configuration file.)
|
|
.It Fl r Ar newrelease
|

Specify the new release to which
|
|
.Nm
|
|
should upgrade (upgrade command only).
|
|

Fetch files from the specified server or server pool.
|

(default: read value from configuration file.)
|

|

|

command, if any, to

|
|
(default: root, or as given in the configuration file.)
|
|
.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 upgrade
|
|
Fetch files necessary for upgrading to a new release.
|
|
Before using this command, make sure that you read the
|
|
announcement and release notes for the new release in
|
|
case there are any special steps needed for upgrading.
|
|
.It Cm install
|
|
Install the most recently fetched updates or upgrade.
|
|
.It Cm rollback
|
|
Uninstall the most recently installed updates.
|
|
.It Cm IDS
|
|
Compare the system against a "known good" index of the
|
|
installed release.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh TIPS
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.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.
|
|
.It
|
|
In spite of its name,
|
|
.Cm
|
|
IDS should not be relied upon as an "Intrusion Detection
|
|
System", since it if the system has been tampered with
|
|
it cannot be trusted to operate correctly.
|
|
If you intend to use this command for intrusion-detection
|
|
purposes, make sure you boot from a secure disk (e.g., a CD).
