Anyone experienced enough with wget? - I just want to open the page, wget by default downloads. The --spider switch looks like it could work…
You could try wget -q --spider http(s)://YourURL/update
Using -O outputs to a file, which you don’t need in this case. -q just silences the output entirely.

Thanks Titanfail - The --spider switch looked like it would be the best option. We’ll see how this pans out for the next update!
@Titanfail, I think it may be a good idea to add the call to /update to the shell script. Someone using the script reported a problem which may be related.

Added the changes to the update script to run wget -q --spider “$app_url/update”. That SHOULD do the trick, but I’ll know for sure when the next update drops.
Link for the script is still the same.
Thanks for your help!
Great work Titanfail - v3.9.1 has been released. Fingers crossed it should work now! 
I’ll keep you guys posted
Quick caveat on the script I just realized. If it works correctly, you won’t get the update notice on the login screen anymore.
Also, @yuljk, you don’t have to have an MTA installed to get the full cron output from the script. If you pipe it into a file with >> it will append the output to that file every time the script is run.
For example, mine is 0 18 * * * /usr/local/bin/ninja_autoupdate >> /usr/local/logs/ninja_update.log to run it at 6:00pm every day, and keep the output in a log file.
It ends up looking something like this…
