brewupdate

brewupdate is a launchd agent to update homebrew formulae automatically day at 11 AM (local time).

How to Install or Upgrade

Clone the git repo and run

brewupdate-install-local.sh

Manual installation

To manually install brewupdate:

Copy brewupdate.sh to your /usr/local/bin folder, then the plist to ~/Library/LaunchAgents and run the command launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/net.brewupdate.agent.plist to load the LaunchAgent into the launchd manager. Correct the @USERHOME@ folders in '~/Library/LaunchAgents/net.brewupdate.agent.plist'.

… and where do I see what's updated?

When the script runs, it'll show a notification using the terminal-notifier command-line tool. The logs are being kept inside $HOME/Library/Logs/Homebrew/brewupdate/brewupdate.log and errors inside $HOME/Library/Logs/Homebrew/brewupdate/brewupdate-error.log. You can change that by editing the StandardOutPath and StandardErrorPath properties inside the net.brewupdate.agent.plist file (don't forget to unload and load after making the changes).
