How to update server to latest dev version from command line

[Guard13007]

I'm running a StarMade server on a virtual Linux box (specifically Ubuntu 14.04), and have no GUI.

I was able to update the game by just running the starter from command line ... and then had to Ctrl+C out of it (unless there's a better way I am unaware of to exit / to start the server from command line).

Now I want to update to the latest dev version. But by default, it only updates to release versions, so ... what do?

(Edit: Tried using "-force" to 'force' an update although I don't think that would work...BUT I don't know how to actually pass that from "java -jar ./StarMade-Starter.jar -nogui" so help on that would be appreciated as well.

I'm guessing you will have to edit the config file in ~/.StarMade. If it doesn't exist, copy it from another computer (it is created after changing settings in the launcher).
The launcher not exiting is a bug.

Simply append the "-dev" argument when calling the command.

I tried that, maybe I wasn't looking too closely, what is the value I'm looking for? Would what Megacrafter127 said work?

It will, the launcher itself says so, if you run it with the "-help" argument.
