Update install command line wish

Is there a command line i can send the HUB to force it to check for updates and if found install it? I have several hubs and it would be handy to set up a rule once a week in off hours. Thanks jj

I wrote this script for downloading hub backups. It could probably be modified to check for updates and install them.

#This is a backup script that I'm running on my Synology NAS to back up my Hubitat Elevation. 

he_login=[Hubitat Username]
he_passwd=[Hubitat Password]
he_ipaddr=[Hubitat IP Address]
backupdir='[Backup Location]' #no trailing space
hubname='Hubitat' #in case you have multiple hubs

I like the idea of doing auto updates. I'll try to whip that up if I get time later.

Ok - you just became my favorite dude in the community - thank you!

ok, so after you suggested this I thought I'd really like to have an auto update script as well. Well the job required more parsing than I was willing to attempt in bash, so I wrote it in Python. Enjoy!

For anyone using my backup script, the 2.3.7.138 release on 12/22/2023 broke it. I have updated the gist above to fix it.

It had 2 glaring problems.

It no longer succeeded in downloading new hub backups.
It was deleting backups that were more than 60 days old. So it was slowly deleting all of my backups.

Both issues have been resolved.
