Manually update software...

Firewalla Team,

I realize that updates are automatically pushed overnight, but in the event I wanted to manually trigger an update, how would I do that?

I see there is a script in /etc/pi/scripts named "fireupgrade.sh".

Is that the one?

Also, since updates are delivered overnight, is there a way to modify when it will actually perform the upgrade?  There are times that I work overnights and would like to be able to pause an update to avoid a momentary drop.

  It is really not necessary to upgrade manually, this process is pretty automatic.  Unless you are on beta or early access mode, the upgrades are relatively manageable. (it won't happen every week, average every 2 months or more on production).   For example, the last big update to the software for the blue/red has a gap of 5 months, and in between, there are two relatively small updates. 

  There is no pause button to updates, but ... if it is required, we can make a cli version.

  Can you still provide instruction or a mechanism to do so?

  best way is to reboot, the box will always update during that time. But ... this is really not necessary, the update window is 24 hours, if you just wait a bit, the update will happen
