Tried sticking emerge -uD world into a cronjob, then wound up sitting and downloding 20MB worth of automated emails from the damn thing because it decided to mail EVERYTHING emerge generated? I did, and honestly, I didn't like it. So I whipped up this little cron job. As usual, It Works For Me(TM), Use At Your Own Risk(R) 
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
# System update script. Provides all the juicy info we actually want without
# insanely big logs.
source /etc/make.conf
echo "`hostname --fqdn` system update script starting at `date`"
echo "Packages to merge:"
emerge --changelog --columns --deep --noreplace --nospinner --oneshot \
--pretend --update --verbose world
echo "Attempting merge."
# Here's why we sourced /etc/make.conf. Make things as quiet as possible
# without suppressing messages that I might want to read.
MAKEOPTS="${MAKEOPTS} -s" CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -w" CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -w" \
emerge --deep --nospinner --oneshot --update world
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "FAILED! Verbose merge follows."
# Make everything really verbose. There's been a failure; the more
# information the better. (NOTE: Don't override -Werror; if it was
# there before, that might be what caused the merge to fail.
MAKEOPTS="${MAKEOPTS} -w" CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -Wall -Wextra" \
CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -Wall -Wextra" emerge --verbose --resume
return $?
else
echo "Success."
return 0

I really wish emerge was more friendly for this type of thing...

Never tried it but could help: | Code: | --quiet (-q)
Results may vary, but the general outcome is a reduced or condensed output from portage's displays.

In my personal experience, -q removed exactly the messages I wanted to see (e.g. einfo and ewarn from ebuilds, the stuff you're _supposed_ to read) and not much else.
