Problem updating MinimWatch to 2.1

[nickc]

I'm on a Linux pc running Manjaro Gnome and MinimWatch monitors two instances of MinimServer on remote devices.

I had a minimwatch folder in my home folder, to which I had downloaded the MinimWatch-2.1-linux-intel.tar.gz but following instructions "Updating an existing MinimWatch installation" and using the /bin/update command I got a "file not found" message. Upon opening the minimwatch folder to investigate, I noticed that the bin folder was actually a symlink targetted to a minimwatch-2.0.7 folder which was also in the /home/minimwatch folder. So I opened the mw-2.0.7 folder, then the bin folder inside it, right-clicked the update binary and ran it as a program. That seemed to work as I was asked for the update archive, so I entered the 2.1...tar.gz path and again it seemed to work as the response was "Stopping Minimwatch ..." (can't remember exact words) followed by a return to the prompt. No message about updating MinimWatch though.

No sign of the MinimWatch icon in my notifications bar either, or in any of my app menus (I don't have a "Start" menu). Running /minimwatch/bin/startc produced another "File or folder not found" and I realised the entire minimwatch folder in my home folder has disappeared.

Investigating further, I find it's still there but changed to a hidden folder. The minimwatch-2.0.7 folder and the 2.1-tar.gz archive folders are still there.

What should I do now?
