[wp-hackers] WP-Manage: Automatic WP backups and upgrades with PHP

[Aaron Brazell]

Fair point but the amount of manual labor required just to be able to  
use the tool each time sort of defeats the purpose. Once someone  
manages 10 blogs or more, having to change perms on these folders  
each time is counter-productive.

Just playing devil's advocate as one of the guys who produced one of  
those shell scripts that take care of all the upgrading.
