I found some additional ways to automate the upgrade. Also, the script creates some security issues, as it keeps a tarball with a somewhat predicable name in the document root directory, so I moved the storage location for the backups outside of the document root. The updated script can be found here: http://www.jerry-bell.com/2008/04/29/wordpress-backup-script/ I'm sure my code can be improved on - I'm not the worlds best coder, but I am pretty lazy and motivated to find ways to automate things. Jerry Aaron,

With over 30 WP installs, this makes the upgrade task look a lot more doable without Fantastico. Speaking of, it doesn't seem that Fantastico disables plugins. If one blew up, wouldn't it just be a case of restoring backups? Also, could you not use the wp-config.php file for input for database connection info? Just trying to make it that much easier! Thanks for sharing. Awesome script. With over 30 WP installs, this makes the upgrade task look a lot more doable without Fantastico. Speaking of, it doesn’t seem that Fantastico disables plugins.

Some extra i added to it first: echo the line with DB name, USER + PASS it's easier to copy+paste. The second thing i'll extend: if there's no wp_images and so on, there souldn't be any scary error messages from cp. The biggest problem i had in upgrading, the "latest" 2.1.2 latest.tar.gz was a plain TAR, shame on wordpress.org :) Greg I tested the script, really useful.

My favorite. Will start using it with the 10+ WP installations I have to keep up to date, and get you some good old feedback. Great job! Simple and effective. My favorite.
