Wordpress automatic updates on ssh
Ive been looking at the above link in order to get automatic updates running on wordpress over ssh. Can anyone tell me if this is a safe thing to do ?
Is anyone else using automatic updates on wordpress ? is there any easy way to get this working ?

Never tried this method.

@theckman:
I usually just make the entire Wordpress directory temporarily owned by www-data, upgrade, then chown it back.

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/domain/htdocs
Replace www-data with your webserver's user and then the filepath with your own filepath. The -R flag means recursive.
