# A function to update discord on Debian
|
||
|
|
||
|
Updating discord is annoying. Initially, this script automated the process. Now, it also checks headers, so that it can be added to a crontab or similar, and it only downloads the ~100 Mb discord file if it is indeed new.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
**Download and execute**
|
||
|
|
||
|
```sh
|
||
|
$ curl https://git.nunosempere.com/NunoSempere/update_discord/raw/branch/master/update_discord.sh -o update_discord.sh
|
||
|
$ cat update_discord.sh
|
||
|
$ bash update_discord.sh
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
**Add to .bashrc**
|
||
|
|
||
|
You might also want to add the contents of update_discord.sh to your `.bashrc` file or similar.
|
||
|
|
||
|
**Usage in cron**
|
||
|
|
||
|
I think this is how you would add this to a crontab:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
$ sudo crontab -e
|
||
|
# Then, inside the crontab
|
||
|
8 * * * * bash /download_path/update_discord.sh
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
However, I haven't tested this yet with a new update
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Stack
|
||
|
|
||
|
- curl
|
||
|
- apt—implying Debian or derivatives
|
||
|
- bash
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Security posture
|
||
|
|
||
|
Total disregard. If you automatically download discord updates, if they are compromised you would have no warning.
