Script to automatically update deb version of filebot
Posted: 12 Jun 2017, 07:38
Here is a simple script. When added to your crontab you can have the deb version of filebot updated automatically. When ran manually it can take the extra clicks and copy-pastas out of the job.
This script checks your version against the newest version on SourceForge and checks your architecture.

The best solution for updates is of course to install via snap install and update via snap refresh because that'll securely provide efficient delta updates.
