How-to properly update Masternodes ?

[Technologov]

My understanding, is that I must stop "dashd", replace the binary and restart "dashd".

Will it throw me out of payment queue?
Is this the recommended method ?

I use the https://github.com/moocowmoo/dashman script and it does not throw me off the queue. It does the stop/restart as well.

1. Login to your vps and do a system update while you're there.
   
   
2. su to the user running dashd, then cd to that user's home directory
   
   
3. wget https://www.dash.org/binaries/dashcore-0.12.1.4-linux64.tar.gz
   
   
4. check the hash of the file you downloaded with those at https://www.dash.org/wallets/
   
   sha256sum dashcore-0.12.1.4-linux64.tar.gz
   
   
5. tar zxvf dashcore-0.12.1.4-linux64.tar.gz
   
   
6. dash-cli stop
   
   
7. mv dashcore-0.12.1/bin/dash{d,-cli} .dashcore ; ls -l .dashcore/dash{d,-cli}
   
   
8. dash-cli --version
   
   
9. dashd
   
   
10. dash-cli getinfo

If all goes well, you'll be done within 5 mins and you won't lose your place in the queue.
