[arm-allstar] Update from supermon

[Doug Crompton]

LLoyd,

 Yes I think you could but don't expect any feedback in that case and you
will probably lose your supermon connection until it restarts. I still
think the cleanest and safest way would be to ssh in and run item 1 on the
menu. It is not a big deal to do. If you have supermon access your would
have ssh access to your server. This is not something you need to do every
day.

The other option is just use the script with cron to do it at some random
time in the middle of the night on a regular basis. The logfile is in
/tmp/update.log
