The subject line is about debugging, but you talk about updates on the main 
message.  

You are assuming that: 

1) Every BB that needs to be updated is connected to the internet. 
2) If they are connected to the Internet, the SSH port is wide open… 
3) They are not turned off in the middle of an update…  ;-) ;-) 



Why not "auto update" your app? 

When booting the BB the init script compares the release number of you app 
(somewhere in a file or in a filename) with the current release number.
The current release number is available from an update web server (with the 
software). 

If the release number on the web site is greater than the installed, the script 
downloads the app, checks the integrity of the archive, and if the archive is 
ok, upgrades the software. 


This: 
        1) Works with only the http port open. Does not need any other ports 
opened.
        2) Works also on a network "no connected" to the Intranet, as long as 
you place on that network a suitable web server.       


Warning:  I don't think this update method is the subject of any valid patent, 
but...  ;-) ;-) ;-)
