Hello, List with great Thanks to Antonio and William I've resolved the problem. just a little script to launch from the root console and voila'....up2date ready to go! :=>
*****begin up2date.sh************
#!/bin/sh export http_proxy=http://192.168.0.20:8000 up2date
**********end up2date.sh*********
Better still, how about this:
***** begin up2date.sh ***** #!/bin/sh
export http_proxy=http://192.168.0.20:8000 exec /usr/sbin/up2date "$@"
***** end up2date.sh *****
This version allows you to pass parameters on the command-line, just like the regular up2date command, so you can do things like:
# up2date.sh --nox --install packagename
