Description John Mazzitelli 2008-03-14 18:25:00 UTC

It would be really nice if the agent could update/upgrade itself.

If a plugin container, agent or third party dep jar is upgraded, you have to manually upgrade the agent yourself.  It would be cool if we had a "agent upgrade" feature that lets the agent download upgrade jars from the server, in a similar manner how it does it for plugin jars now.

First round of design discussions complete.

See:

Comment 4 John Mazzitelli 2008-12-12 07:00:55 UTC

svn rev2340 is the first checkin that contains the code where the agent actually spawns another process to run the update. still not done, but I saw it work once, so I know I'm close :)

Comment 5 John Mazzitelli 2008-12-18 02:26:34 UTC

svn rev 2437 - restarts the agent after the update is complete

Comment 6 John Mazzitelli 2008-12-18 17:56:26 UTC

I think with svn rev 2457, that finishes the agent auto-upgrade.

This is just the first attempt, there needs to be alot of testing on this stuff.

Comment 7 John Mazzitelli 2009-01-10 19:57:50 UTC

I tested agent auto-upgrade on windows and linux successfully.

Here's some info on how to test this:
