The command "sudo synopkg upgradeall" is used to upgrade all packages installed on a Synology NAS (Network Attached Storage) system.

Here is what each part of the command means:

  • "sudo": It is a command that allows the user to run programs with the security privileges of another user, usually the administrator or superuser.
  • "synopkg": It is a package manager utility provided by Synology for managing software packages on their NAS devices.
  • "upgradeall": It is an argument passed to synopkg, instructing it to upgrade all installed packages to their latest available versions.

When you run the command "sudo synopkg upgradeall", you are essentially requesting the Synology NAS to check for updates for all installed packages and upgrade them to their latest versions if updates are available. This ensures that the system is up-to-date with the latest bug fixes, security patches, and feature enhancements provided by the package maintainers.
