Any interest in sharing Linux script to check for new versions?

[upssnowman 4]

If anyone is like me and is always excited to install the newest beta versions of Emby server, I've created a bash script on Github that automatically checks for new versions and alerts you through push notifications using pushover.net. They offer applications for Android, IOS, and desktop and I know that Emby even has their own plugin for pushover.net as well.

You can schedule the script via cron to check for updates as frequently as  you'd like.

Not sure if this is the place to mention something like this but other's may find it helpful.

Hi, yes I'm sure some would. There have been others created by other community members although I can't seem to find them at the moment

emby.version.check

This bash script that will automatically check for new versions of Emby Server and then alert you via Pushover, LLC.

Assumptions

The script makes the following assumptions:
 - You are running your Emby Server on the Linux platform.
 - You have a Pushover account and the Android, IOS or Desktop application setup for push notifications.
 
## Usage

1. Download the script:

2. Add your [Pushover](https://pushover.net) `API Token` and `User Key` to the following lines in the script:

~~~
  --form-string "token=" " \
  --form-string "user=" " \
~~~
> Make sure you paste your `API Token` and `User Key` in between the quotes **" "** and save your changes.

3. Make the script executable:

~~~
chmod +x embyversioncheck.sh
~~~

4. Run the script:
~~~
./embyversioncheck.sh
~~~

5. Once you've tested that everything is working as expected you can simply schedule the script to run via [cron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron).

##### Now every time that a new version of [Emby](https://emby.media/) is released you should automatically get a notification!

I didn't realize the forums didn't use markdown. I'm trying to adjust my previous post to fix that but the edit option is gone.

Sorry about that, our forum use CKEditor, and ver it use do not support this any more.

Please pm our mod's team about the edit you need and they will help in that matter, thanks.
