Topic : Script Update Process

Posted By: kenlyle on December 30, 2011, 12:43 pm

Today, I wanted to get Roundcube which you recently added, down to my local softaculous repository. I saw on the scripts list that only the two scripts added today had no current version listed, i.e. not installed. But when I ran the update process, all 260 scripts got checked, which seems like a waste of server time.

I wonder, now that there are so many scripts, if you could add an option to "Get Only New", meaning to download only the new scripts, and not check the others?

Thanks for considering.

Hi,

Sir Softaculous checks the Current version of scripts on the server and the latest versions with Softaculous.
Although it shows the Logs on the page but it does not download the scripts if the latest version is already there on your server.

And generally you do not have to update manually the CRON does that for you.

Yes, ok. So if the Cron has already run, but you have just added a script, and I only want to add that script, maybe it's not necessary to check all 260 scripts just so I can get that one which is missing?

It's a fine point, but if you have thousands of servers, it could make a difference.

If this doesn't make sense or seem important, thanks for thinking about it.

Hi,

Sir I understand your suggestion but this page is to Enable/Disable the Scripts and if you select only two scripts then Softaculous will interpret that you want to enable only two scripts and disable the remaining.

The best way is to run the CRON command manually:
