I don't see any difference. In some forums, users said "in checkout command, all files in repository are reviewed; in update, only search for the differences"[1]
Well, it's a forum, but IMHO "svn up" is the best option to put in the crontab.

So, Is there a difference between "svn update" and "svn checkout"?

Hi all. Every day i update my pywikipedia folder on toolserver by typing: svn checkout http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia How can i make a cron for updating every day at 10:03 p.m? Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure why you would be issuing "svn checkout" daily -- is there a reason you cannot "svn update"?
In svn a checkout of its remote location to an existing checkout is equivalente to svn up it. In most other vcs he wouldn't have been able to do that.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION/DISCLAIMER
I like it, although a bit large IMHO. I guess it can be freely adapted and reused?
