I've got a really old, misbehaving JIRA instance being used for "production" quality work, so it has to stay up and have defined change windows/policies. I'm trying to keep the plugins up-to-date (at least), but often, I have to restart the service after an update even if the plugin updater doesn't recommend/require it. I've scheduled JIRA restarts before using the `at` command in my linux distro. I'd like to schedule a plugin update and a restart together using any other bash/shell commands necessary. Is this possible? Also, is there any comprehensive documentation on CLI options for administrators? I couldn't find any.

Can I update JIRA plugins from a script?

Auto-Assign tickets to corresponding task owner

We have the following columns in our Scrum board:

To Do
In Progress
Peer Review
QA
Done

During Planning, we assign a Developer Resource, a Reviewer, and a QA Resource.

Whenever a ticket is in To Do or In Progress columns, it should auto-assign to the Developer Resource. Whenever it transitions to Peer Review, it should auto-assign to the Reviewer. Whenever it transitions to the QA column, it should transition to the QA Resource.

How do I accomplish this? Or if I'm not given the correct level of access to do it myself, what can I give the person responsible for doing this?

I would create a script which downloads newest version of plugins (*.jar) which you use. Then - when jira restarts - copy those JARs to [jira-home]/plugins/installed-plugins directory.
