I have a ton of templates and standalones (>10), so updating them one

thought I'd share.
Basically, take this and paste it into dom0 then make it executable.
There'a also a handy test function. All credit goes to Andrea
Micheloni. Anyone have similarly handy modifications/scripts?

IIRC there is an option somewhere in 'qubesctl' for parallel template
updates.
Actually instead of parallel updates (assuming limited bandwidth) I'd
vote for a more verbose progress indicator (in the graphical update app):
Currently the VMs start, update starts, and then ...long time
nothing..., then the list of packages updated.

You can check out my github for some interesting stuff. The
'Qubes-scripts' project has a (serial) template updater that lets you
select by certain criteria. It could be parallelized pretty easily.
Since you have a lot of templates+standalones, the 'findpref' tool might
also be of interest. It can bulk search/replace VM prefs, such as
changing all the VMs that are using 'sys-vpn1' to use 'sys-vpn3'
instead, or change VMs to use a different template.
I also wrote 'wyng-backup', a fast LVM incremental backup tool that only
scans where LVM reports new activity.
Finally, there is a VPN tool and one to enhance VM internal security.
