This is a script to update a WordPress blog with the latest stable version from Subversion.
How to use:

chmod u+x path/to/update-wordpress.sh
path/to/update-wordpress.sh -fs ftp_server -wp /path/to/WordPress/on/FTP -ms mysql_server
Some features:

# NAME
#    update-wordpress.sh - Update WordPress to latest stable version.
#
# SYNOPSIS
#    update-wordpress.sh [options]
#
# DESCRIPTION
#    Backs up the database and the most relevant files (.htaccess, robots.txt
#    and wp-config.php) before updating.
#
#    Uses instructions from
#    http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing/Updating_WordPress_with_Subversion to
#    get the latest stable version of WordPress and copy it to an FTP server.
#
#    For security reasons, the script will ask for all necessary passwords if
#    you don't provide them on the command line.
#
# OPTIONS
#    -v     Verbose output
#    -q     Quiet (non-interactive)
#    -fs    FTP server host name (mandatory)
#    -wp    WordPress path on FTP server (mandatory)
#    -fp    FTP server port
#    -fu    FTP user
#    -FP    FTP password
#    -ms    MySQL server host name (mandatory)
#    -mp    MySQL server port
#    -mu    MySQL user
#    -MP    MySQL password
#    -wd    WordPress database name
#    -wv    WordPress version
#    -b     Where to put the WordPress backup files
#
# BUGS
#    Should detect the newest security release (i.e., highest X for versions
#    2.5.X), perhaps from http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/.
#
#    Email bugs to victor dot engmark at gmail dot com. Please include the
#    output of running this script in verbose mode (-v).
