************************ elbe-updated ************************ .. __name: NAME ==== elbe-updated - Elbe update daemon. .. __synopsis: SYNOPSIS ======== :: elbe updated \ [ --directory ] \ [ --host ] \ [ --nosign ] \ [ --port ] \ [ --usb ] .. __description: DESCRIPTION =========== *elbe updated* is the Elbe update daemon, which runs on the target system. It watches a directory for incoming update packages (which have been created with elbe-gen_update1 in the build VM) and applies them to the system. By default, only signed update packages are allowed. To sign an update package, please use elbe-sign1. It is also possible to monitor the USB bus and to install updates located on an USB drive. *elbe updated* also has a built in SOAP interface which can be used to monitor the status of the update daemon and to initiate downgrades. This command has to be run as root **on the target system**. Please note that *elbe updated* is usually started by the init script of its package, so in most cases there should be no need to start it by invoking this command directly. .. __options: OPTIONS ======= --directory Monitor the given directory for incoming update packages. Default is: */var/cache/elbe/updates* --host Bind address for the SOAP interface. Default is to bind to all network interfaces. --nosign Accept update packages without signatures. --port Port for the SOAP interface. Default is 8088. --usb Enable the USB monitor. This option requires pyudev module and an automount system for the usb drives (e.g. usbmount). .. __examples: EXAMPLES ======== - Start the update daemon, watch */updates* for updates and accept update packages without a signature. :: # elbe updated --directory /updates --nosign .. __elbe: ELBE ==== Part of the elbe1 suite
