As everyone I am sure knows to well upgrading wordpress can be a bit of a pain, so based on a couple of other scripts I found around the net I created this script for automatically backing up and then upgrading a wordpress install.
What it basically does is if you give it the full path of a wordpress install it will automatically reads the config file and get the DB details, then perform a backup of the db, then a backup of the wordpress files and then finally an upgrade of the wordpress install.
To run just use `bash wpUpgrader /var/www/wordpress/`

}
TEMP=/tmp
if [ $# = "1" ]; then
WP=$1
# need to either force full path input or create canconical version
# Validate that this directory is valid and contains wordpress files
BACKUP_DIR=$PWD/backups/wp/$(date +%s)
echo "Creating Backup Directory"
mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR

cd $BACKUP_DIR
