Don't you have cron installed on your box? ;-)

I have a cron task run emerge --sync then mail me the output from
emerge -upvD  --reinstall changed-use @world
then it runs
emerge -ufD  --reinstall changed-use @world
to download the distfiles.

I still can't do anything useful before a cup of tea though...

With a slower machine, I'd say frequent updates are more important,
because of the time it would take to work through two weeks' worth of
updates in i one go.
