Does anybody know how I can run automatic update subversion? If anybody has a script or something like that, could you show me an example?

A:
I use SVN Notifier which sits in the system tray and notifies me every time the repository changes. And I can highly recommend it. It means you only update when there's something to update!
Alternatively you can set up a scheduled task/cron job to run svn update in the appropriate directory every hour/day/whatever.
EDIT: OK, take a look at this Microsoft article on setting up a scheduled task.
You want a batch file called svnUpdate.bat or something which looks like this:
cd C:/path/to/your/working/copy
svn update
Get the scheduled task to run this as often as you like (once an hour seems sensible)
Make sure you have the command line version of svn installed (I use SlikSvn) and available on your PATH (in a command window type svn and ensure it says 'Type svn help...' or similar.

Batch script will be the best solution

Could you write full script for update, because I dont know what to run, and don't see anythig like update in may Installed folder.

The command 'svn update' runs the svn program and tells it to update. These is no separate 'update' program. In a command prompt try typing svn update to check it works

Note: Once I know your operating system, I will be able to give you a more detailed answer.
General Instructions
- Never change anything in the local repository.
- Read this link on how to use AT to schedule from the command line in windows.
Use the AT command to schedule the following command (assuming you have the command-line version of svn installed):
svn update reporsitory_directory
Profit!

Then you could just create a windows shortcut that executes svn update repository_directory

A:
@echo off
cls
echo == Initiating system instance variables...
echo. -- Setting the variables...
:: Here you need to make some changes to suit your system.
set SOURCE=C:\sauce\CURRENT
set SVN=C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin
:: Unless you want to modify the script, this is enough.
echo. %SOURCE%
echo. %SVN%
echo. ++ Done setting variables.
echo.
echo == Updating source from SVN
echo. -- Running update...
"%SVN%\TortoiseProc.exe" /command:update /path:"%SOURCE%" /closeonend:2
echo. ++ Done.
echo. -- Cleaning up...
set SOURCE=
set SVN=
echo. ++ Done.
If you are using TortoiseSVN then the above batch script will suit fine. Otherwise you can just modify it to use whatever SVN client you are currently using. Just pop this in a .bat file and run it on demand.

This is the relevant portion for a much larger "Build, destroy and deploy" script I wrote so there might be some comments or echos that you might prune.

You can put this batch file on your desktop. Modify the SOURCE variable (I use C:\sauce\CURRENT) to whatever directory you have your checked out trunk in. The SVN variable I set to the installation directory where TortoiseSVN (an SVN client) can be found. The script then runs the TortoiseSVN executable with a few parameters to tell Tortoise what directory to run an SVN update on. This will update your project with the newest files from the SVN repository. Not the application itself.

You can easily modify this script to run the update command from whatever SVN client you are currently using.

I'm using TortoiseSVN. On the production server I have a scheduled task that runs the following batch file.
CD C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\
START TortoiseProc.exe /command:update /path:"C:\www\MyRepo\" /closeonend:0
Hopefully this saves someone else some time!
