You can configure YAQAS to run this script in the background automatically. Simply restart the deployment script (deploy.sh), select option 2, and enable automatic updates if you forgot to do so during the initial node setup.

Scheduled automatic updates occur every 2 hours at a random minute to distribute the load on the official repository.
