[wp-hackers] Automatically Updating WordPress via SSH

[Jeffrey Nolte]

Hi Otto,

Thank you for the quick reply.  I did restart everything except for php5-fpm which did the trick after a restart.  After some more research into this method it seems it may not be very secure. Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions on this?  

I am planning on implementing a user specifically for WordPress access via FTP to allow for automated upgrading of plugins and core.

Thanks again,

Jeff
