I wouldn't object to having a script for command-line multi-database updates. But you can safely assume by now that nobody has written such a script yet.
This seems easier for upgrades between minor versions or for core-only upgrades (because the contributed modules and themes often don't have a matching major version).
Since the developer wouldn't know how people have messed with their sites, such a script would be mostly suitable for people who can take care of their module and theme versions, read error messages, fix their database, run test updates, or revert to an interactive process if necessary.

Hello, I have checked in the forums, and all I have found is other two users with the very same problem and no answer at all in three weeks:

Is it really true that there is no way to upgrade one multi-site drupal install from 4.7.6 to 5.0 or 5.1 working only on the command line????
You could use wget but the upgrade.php expects you to pick a version to upgrade to.
I know that wget or curl can do this kind of things, thanks. I haven't gone that way yet for two reasons:
- I really, really couldn't believe that this case (one drupal install for several sites, each one with its own database) had been ignored or forgotten by the developers. I haven't even seen anywhere any official announcement that such a way to use Drupal would have become deprecated with Drupal 5. Did I miss such an announcement?
- I am not going to play with several *live* websites, risking to mess them up, to make an untested procedure work. Not until there is the slightest possibility that a tested way to make this upgrade comes up (I can't obtain more databases right now on that server).
Is it at least possible to know for *sure*, before trying it, if running that procedure through ONE of the websites currently managed by Drupal 4.7.6 will upgrade all the others?
Thanks, D.
