Hi Nicholas,

We have many sites using Admin Tools Pro. Every time an update comes out, I need to login in every website and install the update. All my sites are running on tghe same Linux server.

Is it possible to install the update through a bash script the "visits" each site and then extracts the Admin Tools Pro zipfile? This would help us in deploying Admin Tools Pro (and Akeeba Backup Pro too) in an automated process.

Basically my question is: how to extra the ZIPfile in a way that the update is installed automatically. And, is it necessary to update something in the database too... Thanks and regards,

Rene Kreijveld (see you at the dutch Joomladays?)

This is not fully possible yet. It is theoretically possible by writing a custom JCli application for Joomla! 1.7 and later sites, but it's not something currently supported.

On the other hand, I've already solved that issue. Remember the automatic update notification email feature? When you enable it, all Super Admins on that site receive one email every 24 hours notifying them of the available update. Moreover, it comes with a clickable link. Clicking on it automatically logs you in and performs the update for you. So, all you have to do is to click on the email links. The link is active for 24 hours or until someone clicks on any of those update links, minimising the security risk.
