When updating while utilising Plex Media Server (PMS) as a service with a wrapper program. I was wondering whether PMS could be given a command line switch which when used, would be passed to be utilised by the updater so that it would utilise deferred file operations. And generate a file in the following format:-
c:\soft\sshd.exe.new>c:\bin\ssh.exe
This would allow service wrapper programs to utilise this file if they support deferred file operations. The file generated would need to likely be called PlexService.copies. The reason being there’s an open source service wrapper project called WinSW. When utilising this wrapper program it supports deferred file operations. With this the standard Plex Media Server updating process would work if it generated this file by the updater.
If you want to see this feature implemented to help with updating when utilising service wrapper programs under Windows, please vote for it.
