MarkP Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 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! 1 Main-Module: F-16C, AH-64D Maps: Syria, Persian Gulf, South Atlantic, Caucasus, 1944 Normandy, NTTR Hardware: VKB Gunfighter mk.2 Pro, WinWing Orion F16, VKB T-Rudder, HP Reverb G2 PC Specs: Intel 13900K, ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-E, 64GB DDR5-5800 RAM, GeForce RTX 4090, Win 11x64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC_Official Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 DCS_updater.exe --quiet update dcs.exe --norender --server will auto update then start dcs, stick it in a batch file No more pre-orders Click here for tutorials for using Virpil Hardware and Software Click here for Virpil Flight equipment dimensions and pictures. .

IdefixRC Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 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 Fly Safe FlighRIG => CPU: RyZen 5900x | RAM: 64GB Corsair 3000Mhz | GPU: nVIDIA RTX 4090 FE | OS Storage: SSD NVMe Samsung 850 Pro 512GB, DCS Storage: SSD NVMe Sabrent 1TB | Device: Multipurpose-UFC, VirPil T-50, TM WARTHOG Throttle, TrackHat, MFD Cougar with screen.
