The command "sudo synoupgrade --start" is used in Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM), an operating system used in Synology NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices for managing data and services. Let's break down the command:

  • "sudo": It stands for "superuser do" and is used to execute commands with administrative privileges. It allows the user to perform actions that require elevated permissions.
  • "synoupgrade": It is a utility command in Synology DSM used for managing system upgrades. It enables users to update the firmware version of the NAS device, which includes bug fixes, security patches, and new features.
  • "--start": This option instructs the "synoupgrade" command to initiate the upgrade process. It can be used to start upgrading the firmware of the Synology NAS device.

Combining these elements, the command "sudo synoupgrade --start" allows a user with administrative rights to begin the system upgrade process on a Synology NAS device by executing the "synoupgrade" utility.
