Save above in name.sh and name can be replaced with whatever you want. Also do chmod +x name.sh and you are done. This will tell you if you need to update or not.

Now next one will update your Hiawatha server.

Save above in another name.sh and do a chmod +x name.sh again. Now if you want to update automatically change first script to this (using update-hiawatha.sh as an example name)

#!/bin/bash

LATEST=`wget -q -O - http://www.hiawatha-webserver.org/latest`
VERSION=`hiawatha -v | cut -f 1 -d , | sed 's/Hiawatha\ //' | grep v | sed 's/v//'`
if [ $LATEST = $VERSION ]; then
  echo "Hiawatha is already the latest version"
 else ./update-hiawatha.sh
fi

That is it really. Hope that helps you people out a bit to keep your awesome hiawatha server in tip top condition running the latest and greatest version.

Thanks for sharing!
