It looks like I should be able to force an update (ie from a cron, or manually) using srt manage. However: $ ./bin/srt manage lsupdates SRT_MAIN_APP=yp The system will manage.

Hi, The "lsupdates" is currently focused on the "initialization" phase, and in your example output you will observe that all of the datasources are already initialized. The "bin/common/srtool_utils.py" is the tool that handles the "updates" and the CRON job connection. That tool is being ported to the current SRTool release (as per bug 13131). Once I have this working I will update the documentation on how to connect it to CRON jobs. We discussed "force an update" facility in a different enhancement request. I will look at extending "lsupdates" (or another management tool) to support that.
This has been implemented. See "./bin/srt manage update -h".
