+# brewupdate #
+
+brewupdate is a [launchd agent][launchd] to update [homebrew][homebrew] formulae automaticly every day at 11 AM (local time).
+
+Brewupdate will not upgrade your installed formulae. It's sole responsibility is to fetch new formulae.
+
+## How to Install ##
+To install `brewupdate`, copy the plist to `~/Library/LaunchAgents` and run the command `launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/net.mkalmes.brewupdate.plist` to load the LaunchAgent into the launchd manager.
+
+Here is a quick rundown:
+```
+> mkdir ~/Library/LaunchAgents
+> cp net.mkalmes.brewupdate.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
+> launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/net.mkalmes.brewupdate.plist
+```
+
+## How to Upgrade ##
+If you installed a previous version of brewupdate, unload the loaded LaunchAgent, copy the new agent to `~/Library/LaunchAgents`, and load the copied LaunchAgent.
+
+Here is a quick rundown:
+```
+> launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/net.mkalmes.brewupdate.plist
+> cp net.mkalmes.brewupdate.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
+> launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/net.mkalmes.brewupdate.plist
+```
+
+## … and where do I see what's updated? ##
+Since OS X 10.8, [Apple removed the redirection][apple-removed-redirection] of `stdout` and `stderr` to `system.log`.
+
+On OS X 10.5 to 10.7, <code>brewupdate</code> redirects the output to <code>/var/log/system.log</code> and can be easily viewed with <code>/Applications/Utilities/Console.app</code>. Use the search filter <code>net.mkalmes.brewupdate</code> on "All Messages" to display the list of new and updated formulae.
