Update packages installed from AUR

Is there some way to automatically check for newer packages that were installed from aur and install them.
I want achieve behaviour similiar to pacman -Syu.

Use an AUR helper such as bauerbill, clyde etc.

Yaourt -Su --aur should do. Add this:

[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686

to /etc/pacman.conf to install yaourt and have a look into /etc/yaourtrc to set up it as you like.

Yes, exactly. As well, there are countless threads on the subject. This has been covered to death.
