Different update options

[Anne]

Hi,

I love the custombuild plugin, really makes life easier for me.

I have a question, seems to be obvious, but I just cant find it. What is the difference between those 3 options:

I always thought 1 and 3 were the same, but I just run 1 and 3 is still there, that's why I was wondering.

No 1 is

./build update

The files for all of custombuild

2 is not files and just the build script

./build update_script

3 is the Plugin which you see on the screen its the GUI for custombuild

./build custombuild_plugin

all 3 seperate things

If you go in ssh
and run

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/
./build

You will see the Usage output.

Thanks a lot, now I get it, except 2.

1. ./build update This command verifies if new updates are available.
Is it true it runs also automatic? Because I see the number of available updates behind the Custombuild in the dashboard change from time to time.

2. ./build update_script Not sure about this one? I see it does: "Get latest build script without packages." but what is the advantage of this?

3. ./build custombuild_plugin Update the plugin version itself.

IMHO not much I never use it.

What are you trying to accomplish? did you need to update your server because just running those won't actually update the server. It only updates the custombuild files.

Ok. No I just want to know what the difference was.

Before I just did Update All, but since I ran into some problems, now I only update if there are benefits for some install or security fixes.

Yes I understand the idea now. I have to do the Update Custom build only to see what new versions to install and actually run the update for the software. It was just that I thought that 1 and 3 were the same, but you explained the difference and now I see what my misunderstanding was. So long story short, all fine here. Thanks!
