Initiate VM update from dom0 command line

[e...@riseup.net]

VMs by default check for available updates and notify Qubes VM Manager
if there are any. Is there a genereic dom0 terminal command that
corresponds to Qubes VM Manager's "Update VM"?

You can call the VM's update script with:
$ qvm-run -a -u root vmname '/etc/qubes-rpc/qubes.InstallUpdatesGUI'

I also wrote a script that can handle multiple updates, use
non-interactive mode, select by availability and trim templates:
