Batch module replace in Drupal
Every so often I update a Drupal site and need to update a bunch of modules/themes at the same time. Fortunately, the naming convention of modules/themes is consistent so I can update many with one little script. First, scp all the module/theme gz files to the location you want to store them. Next, cd into that directory. Last, run this script: for thm in $(ls *.gz) do thmnew=$(ls ${thm}|cut -d'-' -f1) tar -cf ${thmnew}_old.tar ${thmnew} mv ${thmnew}_old.tar /usr/local/src/drupal/tmp/themesupgraded/ mv ${thmnew} /usr/local/src/drupal/tmp/themesupgraded/ tar -zxvf ${thm} mv ${thm} /usr/local/src/drupal/tmp/themesupgraded/ done
