I have no managed to do what I want. By the way, is there a way to access this Qubes management API without using Python? (I specifically want to use Lisp, but I can hook into anything that isn't language-specific).

I got a Python script for that. Put in dom0 and run it. Unlike Andrews
script this one will update all VMs in parallel and is interactive
rather than non-interactive.

Here it is, embedded in the email:
#!/usr/bin/python2
import subprocess
from time import sleep
from qubes.qubes import QubesVmCollection
if __name__ == "__main__":
qvm_collection = QubesVmCollection()
qvm_collection.lock_db_for_reading()
try:
qvm_collection.load()
finally:
qvm_collection.unlock_db()
vms = qvm_collection.values()
exclude_vms = ("debian-8-hvm", "win7", "win7-orig")
#"archlinux-aur", "archlinux")
processes = []
for vm in vms:
dom0 = vm.qid == 0
if not dom0 and vm.updateable and vm.name not in exclude_vms:
print "Updating VM template %s..." % vm.name
if not vm.is_running():
vm.start()
sleep(3)
p = vm.run_service("qubes.InstallUpdatesGUI", gui=True,
wait=False, passio_popen=True)
processes.append((vm, p))
print "Waiting for VMs to complete updating..."

p.wait()

vm.shutdown()

[qubes-users] Programmatically performing software update
I tend to use Qubes VM's not just for security purposes, but also as a very convenient way to have clean, manageable VM's where I only install the stuff I need for a specific task. This has led me to have a large number non-template VM's, all of which needs to be manually updated every time there is a software update. Right now, for each VM, I have to click on update, wait for the dialogue box to spin for a while waiting for the VM to start, then manually choose “yes” to update. This process gets old really fast. Is there a way to automate this so that I can simply say “yes, I want to update all these VM's, go ahead and do it”?
