Maybe you've wondered how to upgrade to the latest version of AirWave (aka AMP)?
It's not too hard, you just need access to the shell of the server with root access and internet access from the server. (this can be done from a local file too, but I won't get into that now)
SSH into the AirWave server using root and type: start_amp_upgrade
The entire upgrade should look like this:
root@localhost mercury]# start_amp_upgrade
Enter desired AMP version: 8.0.6.3
Directory not specified; using /root.
Upgrade script AMP-8.0.6.3-amp_upgrade was not found in local cache.
Upgrade package AMP-8.0.6.3-x86_64-cvs.tar.gz was not found in local cache.
