Re: [webmin-l] Upgrade to Webmin 1.996 Failed

[Lee J. <lj...@ne...>]

Actually, updates have not failed for me before, and it seems this update was successful too - it just failed to restart when it was finished.

Anyway, the main reason I use Webmin is because the command line scares the hell out of me. Is there a safe way to update via the Webmin interface? (Including running a command in the command shell module, which I can do.) Until now I have been doing it via the System Information screen, but I see there is at least one alternative method in the Webmin Configuration module.
