Hi @napcok, I am interested in seeing the script that performs Mabox updates using Yay, as part of my interest in scripting with the idea of adapting it to other distros.
I have another PC running Manjaro and would like to use the script on that PC as well.
I like Yay better than Pacman and Pamac although I wouldn’t stop using them as they are part of the distro.
Searching through the scripts in **/usr/sbin** / I found _“check updates.sh”_. I’m not sure if that’s the right script, could you confirm or guide me?

I don’t know exactly what you are referring to…
How do you run this update? From the right sidepanel? From the Conky context menu?
It’s unlikely to be a script, just a simple command or two run via the terminal.
Edit:
checkupdates.sh is a script executed by Conky - it checks updates every 30min, and if updates are available shows notification and let you decide about the way to update: Pamac or cli (yay).

Yes, reading the file I understand what you are saying.
Yes, the yay updater that comes in the right panel. i thought it might be a script but i can’t figure it out.

Just two commands launched via terminal
```auto
yay -Syyu;read -p " Finished! Press ENTER to quit"
```
It can be difficult to run commands in different terminals this way. Refer to the manual or help for the terminal you want to use.
I think it’s probably best to just fire up the terminal normally and type yay (-Syyu isn’t really needed)

Thank you, I will keep this in mind.
I’m interested in scripting, that’s the main reason I wanted to see it and of course to use it, but from what you say, just run the command so solved the issue.
I will look at other scripts to go see how they perform.

Hi Claudio,

Maybe I’m reading it wrong.
But Yay is probably not installed as the default on Manjaro. I don’t know.
But Yay is a program just like Pacman.
- Pacman uses official arch repo.
- Yay also installs AUR community packages.
To install yay on Manjaro.
`pacman -S yay `
After that you can choose to use Yay or Pacman.

Hi @muzqs thanks for your answer, I’m in Mabox and I use yay for updates (cli) and eventually to install software. 👍
