Welcome to the wiki of the autus.sh project!

Annotation

What is this?
The autus.sh is a shell script to add some more persistence to upgrade process of FreeBSD package distributions. The script is a just small wrapper above of pkg upgrade command.

Why is it useful?
Suppose, you issues a pkg upgrade -y command. After then you goes to bed because your internet connection is slow. If so, would not you like to prevent disconnection? Correct answer is "yes, of course!"
This script can restart fetch updated package distributions after broken internet connection reestablished.

How to use?

Usage is pretty simple.

  1. First of all, you should download the autus.sh file.
  2. After then you may read a short embedded help using the command ./autus.sh -h
  3. Then you can use the script as described in the help. As you know pkg upgrade requires root access.

This wiki and the script is under construction. I'll be glad if you can participate this small project as code reviewer.
