Works well.

I have a couple sites that have been a headache to keep current. This plugin is just what I needed to automate what is a pretty brainless chore. Lots of custom settings and easy to use. Just set it to “auto” and it’ll check for updates and install them at any frequency you set. With all the hacking going on these days, you can’t be too careful about outdated plugins, themes, and wordpress core files.
