Shellscript to update your phpMyAdmin installation automatically via cron
This script will update your current phpMyAdmin to the latest version directly from your shell.
Copy the script to any location of your machine.
IMPORTANT: You need to edit the script to set the correct settings.
If you want to install a cronjob, run
sh install-cronjob.sh
Open the file config.sh and edit the variables LOCATION, PMA. If you set f.e. LOCATION="/var/www" and PMA="pma" your PMA installation will be installed into "/var/www/pma".
If you want, change the compression type - "tar.gz" and "tar.bz2" are possible.
Instead of changing the settings in the script, you can place the variables in a user based .pma-updaterc file in the home folder from the user this script runs as.
For updating phpMyAdmin to the latest version, execute the shell script like this:
sh pma-update.sh
If you want to install a specific version
sh pma-update.sh -r 3.5.0
sh pma-update.sh [-hvf] [-r version]
-h this help
-v output all warnings
-f force download, even if this version is installed already
-r version choose a different version than the latest.
