hmm suppose I could write a quick Wordpress WP-CLI update script to run 2 or 3 times a day for auto updates too for Centmin Mod's new centmin.sh menu option 22 which auto installs Wordpress + WP Super Cache and Nginx vhost setup. Edit: added wp plugin auto updater cron to centmin.sh menu option 22 in Centmin Mod .08 beta 02. Can easily use a shell script to auto update wordpress every 8 hours = 3 times a day if you have WP-CLI addon/tool installed. change EMAIL and WPINSTALL_DIR variables to your email and your wordpress install directory save to say /root/tools/wpupdater.sh Code: #!/bin/bash PATH=/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin:/root/bin EMAIL='youremail@address.com' WPINSTALL_DIR='/home/nginx/domains/newdomain2.com/public' { cd $WPINSTALL_DIR echo "$WPINSTALL_DIR" /usr/bin/wp cli update --allow-root /usr/bin/wp plugin status --allow-root /usr/bin/wp plugin update --all --allow-root } 2>&1 | mail -s "Wordpress WP-CLI Auto Update `date`" $EMAIL give permissions Code: chmod 0700 /root/tools/wpupdater.sh use crontab -e to add the following cronjob Code: 0 */8 * * * /root/tools/wpupdater.sh 2>/dev/null exit crontab and save via CTRL+X sample email I got Code: /home/nginx/domains/newdomain2.com/public Success: WP-CLI is at the latest version. 33 installed plugins: A wp-security-scan 4.0.5 I addthis-smart-layers 1.0.10 I akismet 3.1.1 A autoptimize 1.9.2 I backupwordpress 3.2.4 I db-cache-reloaded-fix 2.3 A disable-xml-rpc 1.0.1 I go-newrelic 0.3 A google-analytics-for-wordpress 5.3.3 I google-authenticator 0.47 A gtmetrix-for-wordpress 0.4.1 I hello 1.6 A jetpack 3.4.1 A limit-login-attempts 1.7.1 A no-longer-in-directory 1.0.39 A p3-profiler 1.5.3.8 I query-monitor 2.7.1 I recent-tweets-slider 1.0.1 A rocket-lazy-load 1.0.3 I search-regex 1.4.15 A sucuri-scanner 1.7.8 A theme-check 20141222.1 A tpc-memory-usage 0.9.1 A updraftplus 1.9.63 I w3-total-cache 0.9.4.1 A wordpress-seo 2.0.1 A wp-optimize 1.8.9.10 A wp-smushit 1.7.1.1 A wp-super-cache 1.4.4 A wp-super-cache-clear-cache-menu 1.3.1 A wp-updates-notifier 1.4.1 A wp-widget-cache 0.26 M p3-profiler Legend: A = Active, I = Inactive, M = Must Use Success: Updated 0/0 plugins.
