Now normally, I don't mind being all long winded about plugin upgrades, because it's usually just one or 2. Now because I'm picky and awkward, the WP auto-upgrade for plugins doesn't seem to work on my server. Instead of fixing that, I simply wrote a bash script. The contents of which are:





    

  1. 

    #!/bin/bash
    

    2. 

  2. 

     
    

    3. 

  3. 

    if [ $# == 2 ]; then
    

    4. 

  4. 

                    new=$2
    

    5. 

  5. 

    else
    

    6. 

  6. 

                    new=$1
    

    7. 

  7. 

    fi
    

    8. 

  8. 

     
    

    9. 

  9. 

    if [ -d $1 ]; then
    

    10. 

  10. 

                    rm -rf ./$1
    

    11. 

  11. 

    fi
    

    12. 

  12. 

     
    

    13. 

  13. 

    wget http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/$new.zip
    

    14. 

  14. 

    unzip ./*.zip
    

    15. 

  15. 

    rm ./*.zip
    

    16.

Not sure if anybody wants to use that - I'm sure it could be improved, but it satisfied 2 of my needs. I now have an easier way to update (and install, I guess) plugins, and a lesser desire to code things. I now have to think of my next blog topic so I can get back on track!
