Your script does _more_ than just update installed ports. It also
updates the OS sources, but it does _not_ upgrade the OS according
to those sources.

If that's what you intend, try the following:



#!/bin/sh
# update OS sources
svn update /usr/src
# update ports tree
svn update /usr/ports
make fetchindex
portsdb -fu
# upgrade all installed ports
portupgrade -na



You can exchange 

	# update ports tree
	svn update /usr/ports

with the following:

	# update ports tree
	portsnap fetch extract

But you should keep _one_ of those two methods. It's usually wise to
start with an empty /usr/ports directory and have the desired tool
populate it for the first time, then apply changes on further runs.
