Dedicated auto updater?

[MarkP]

Hi, i love the dedicated so far!

 

But i wanted to know if there is an option to automatically update the server? Maybe via a script or cronjob? My Server runs 24/7 so if i dont manually update, the clients cant connect anymore

 

Thanks!

DCS_updater.exe --quiet update

 

dcs.exe --norender --server

 

will auto update then start dcs, stick it in a batch file

hi there, would anyone know if DCS_updater.exe allow to just check if there is an update available and then return a exit code?
This would allow automation -> check if update is available, if yes, kill DCS instances, update and restart. -> if no update, keep DCS instances running.

It will be really interesting, unfortunately it looks like there is no documentation about that, as well as "common practice" to print %ERRORLEVEL% just after the updater command line, it will produce results not related to the update availability.



On one of my dedicated test server it's 0 before and after update.




I think it's something that just ED can address.

Actually on my most populated "prod" server, I'm manually closing the instances start/restart script, start the update from classic icon on desktop, and then ruin again all the isntances form their dedicated script

Lets see
