I am a semi-fan of WP-Cache. On the good side, it reduces strain on apache by staticising WordPress pages. On the bad side, it messes with my site statistics and makes development hard (I always forget that the page I’m working on is being cached). I like my statistics, but what if I suddenly get a traffic storm? If my site gets dugg, there is no time to worry about statistics. I would need all the help I can get to serve pages efficiently. This is why WP-Cache should be off by default and automatically turned on during traffic storms. Read on…

If you don’t have “cvsup” installed, do so by following the tutorial on Open Addict (section: Rebuild the World, and Recompile the Kernel):

Since all you have to do to update your ports is run the command:

cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile

Just stick that command in your crontab and make it run every midnight.

crontab -e # This opens the crontab in the vi editor.

Add this line to the crontab:

0 0 * * * /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile

Shift+zz to save and you are done.

This it one of the reasons why I love Unix. With little thought, everything is script-able and customizable.
