try

yes | pkg-get upgrade

(no -f, as it will not install intractive ones)

Also might want to change
/var/sadm/install/admin/default
and change the line in
instance=unique
to
instance=overwrite

thx fraxas – will have to give the -f option a whirl. on the trust the maintainers front, doesn’t everyone pretty much always click through?

Matthew: will give that a whirl shortly. thx for the tip, and for fixing the original wiki. much appreciated.

I think the problem is that the example has a bunch backslashes that aren’t meant to be there, if you remove all the backslashes from above it should work. I fixed the Instiki page too.

some of the ‘y’s in pkg-get come from pkg-get itself, and some come from pkgadd. You can lose the ones from pkg-get (mostly the dependency stuff) with the -f option; the pkgadd ones, like “are you sure you want to run these scripts with superuser permissions?”, can be removed with a /var/sadm/admin file — I think that’s the name, pkg-get’s manpage has the docs for it anyway. In fact, I think pkg-get puts a sample one in /opt/csw/etc.

Of course, the usual security caveats apply; using admin-fullauto and the -f option means you really need to trust your package source not to be Hurtful People.
