Automatically '-Scc' After Successful Install/Upgrade

How would I make yaourt/pacman automatically clean cache and remove unused repositories after successfully installing or upgrading packages?

Re: Automatically '-Scc' After Successful Install/Upgrade

'&&' can be used to run the command only if the first is successful:

pacman -Syu && pacman -Scc --noconfirm

Or you can put this in ~/.bashrc so that when you run the command 'update' the cache will be cleaned after:

alias update='pacman -Syu && pacman -Scc --noconfirm'

Much thanks.
I figured out another way, while I was at it:

alias pacman='yaourt'

yaourt () {
        if /usr/bin/yaourt $*; then
                if [[ "$1" == "S" || "$1" == *y* || "$1" == *u* ]]; then
                        /usr/bin/yaourt -SccCc --noconfirm
                fi
        fi
}

It looks like with the yaourt -SccCc you will be deleting all your new .pacnew files. I would manually do that or you might have problems later on.

I wouldn't recommend automatically deleting your cache after an upgrade anyways.  What if you need/want to revert?
