I have the following shell command, which I intend to call from an actionable notification: ha_update: "ha core update", however, when I run it I get an exit code 127 Am I doing something wrong? It appears the shells should run from within the homeassistant environment, and in the configuration f…

That’s because shell commands run inside the homeassistant container, but the ha command is not available there. I’ve verified this with a Home Assistant OS VM: [image] One possible solution would be to ssh from the container to the host and run your command that way. There might be a better wa…

Is that command intended to get update info or to execute an actual update? I use a different installation method, so I don’t know. If it’s to run an update, it seems like a terrible idea to execute an HA update from the same running HA instance. It should probably be shut down properly before runni…

It is easily possible to run ha core update while ha is running. It works just fine.

Thanks Nick, I wanted to check that OP isn’t possibly doing something that will corrupt their installation, as normally such actions require very careful programming.

Both supervised and HAOS can update core from the ui, and does (I would assume) the same thing as ha core update. It essentially downloads the new docker container, then restarts the HA container. I am sure there will be more to it, but this is also what people do to update container, albeit manuall…

Yep,I just want to be able to run the update service from an action in a notification on my phone, rather than click through to the UI. I see the content about SSH into HA, I may try that, but it’s too much effort for a trivial gain in the process (as it is, the notification action items in the UI …

[image] nickrout: It is easily possible to run ha core update while ha is running. There could be more to it. What would happen if the ha command itself was stopped during the update? That is what would most likely happen if it was started by Home Assistant. It might be necessary to make su…

I had to add environment variables to the venv (on macOS). Otherwise many system commands would be unknown. Maybe it is something similar. You could also use the full paths of the commands (like cp).

Maybe this can help you:
