[SOLVED] Script to upgrade multiple packages

suChris · 01-29-2010, 08:54 AM

Ok I got this folder which has got let's say 3 packages:
example1.txz
example2.txz
example3.txz

Of course, there are many more packages actually. But anyway, I want to create a script that will upgrade all packages contained in the folder at once just by running the script.

So any suggestions?

PHP Code:



cd /directory/with/packages 
slackpkg upgrade-all

I think that will do it. It's not really a script, but could easily be named I reckon, although it would probably be just as easy to do it manually.

Ooops. Didn't really know about this command :P. Cheers!

Yeah, why not just run

Code:

upgradepkg *.t?z

from the directory with the packages?

That would do exactly what you're looking for.
