just add this line to your /etc/crontab
0      0       *       *       5      root    /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 
0 /usr/share/examples/cvsup/your_Cvsupfile

this will run every friday midnight and update your files.

You should use crondaemon. Place the following line to the end of 
/etc/crontab:

15      4       *       *       6       root    cvsup /some/path/to/supfile

The number six represents the sixth day of the week, the 15 is the 
minute number and the second is the hour, thus this will run on every 
Friday (if I remember correctly, I'm not sure the numbering starts with 
Sunday) at 4:15.

Here's a neat little script you can run from cron or commandline.  I use 
it to update the ports tree and the source tree for 5-STABLE.  Feel free 
to change the cvsup logging to suit (I don't log the ports, but I do log 
important STABLE src stuff).  Also, use the correct country for mirrors.

You need to install cvsup, portupgrade, fastest_cvsup, and if you want, 
try freebsd-update.  The portupgrade line at the bottom may not be 
needed by many.  But this way, I already have the latest ports 
distfiles, if I want, so when I am ready to run portupgrade, the 
download is already on my disk.

Ensure you put your cvsup files in the right place (or edit the script 
below.)  I run this every other day on FreeBSD 5.4.  The logs help me 
see what needs to be updated.  (Every time it runs, it will show you 
what ports could be updated.  It will also show you what files were 
updated in the source tree.)

my cron entry:
33 2 */2 * * /root/mydaily.sh 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null

Weekly is like this:
33 2 * * 3 /root/mydaily.sh 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null

***********/root/mydaily.sh*********
