In addition to the above, my cron job also syncs my overlays, updates
eix database,
checks dependencies, and verifies nvidia driver was not updated behind
my back :-)

echo "Syncing overlays..."
/usr/bin/svn cleanup /usr/portage/local/layman/xeffects
layman -S

echo "Running update-eix..."
update-eix --quiet

echo "Running revdep-rebuild"
revdep-rebuild --ignore --pretend --no-color
rm -f /.revdep-rebuild.*

echo "show openGL selection"
eselect --no-color opengl list


So my daily routine is to check the email from cron, then as long as nothing
big needs to be updated, run emerge -uDNav where I examine the use flags,
particularly the not selected ones.  For big updates like kde and gcc, I
wait
for the weekend then check for any updating issues (b.g.o., forums, this
list).

HTH,
Roy
