[Using portsnap] Crontab rule when using portsnap from ports

[Ed Schouten]

Hello FreeBSD docs guys,

It looks like there is a small bug on the 'Using portsnap' page [1]:

| Adding the following line to /etc/crontab will cause portsnap to
| update its compressed snapshot and the INDEX files in /usr/ports/, and
| will send an email if any installed ports are out of date:
| 
| 0 3 * * * root portsnap -I cron update && pkg_version -vIL=

Running portsnap with multiple commands does not work when portsnap is
built from ports.

An extra 'Note' should be added below:

| Note: Portsnap from Ports does not understand multiple instructions at
| a time. Replace 'portsnap -I cron update' with 'portsnap cron &&
| portsnap -I update'.

Yours,
