Problems updating MinimServer

It sounds like you only tested this using a local Terminal window. If you did not test it using MinimWatch to initiate the update, then I don't think that's a fair test.

If you are pretty sure there are no bugs in the software, and think that something must have happened to my installation, I could try completely uninstalling and reinstalling via SSH, and then see what happens on the next release.

I posted the diagnostic steps in this post to provide a way of verifying whether or not there is a problem with your installation that is causing .autoUpdate not to work. MinimWatch is not involved in the .autoUpdate mechanism, as I explained in the other thread. You can perform these diagnostic steps without waiting for a new release to become available. The results of this test are important to help me with determining the cause of the other problem and I would appreciate it if you could try these steps and let me know what happens. It is fine to perform these steps from an SSH window instead of a Terminal window. Many thanks.

One additional note to the diagnostic steps: If you have customized your Minimserver configuration, please make a note of your configuration settings before performing these steps so that you can reapply these settings afterwards.
