* Add a flag to upgrade only running instances i created multiple instances for different projects, and updating all instances means starting all instances that some do heavy operations at startup, so i want to keep them up-to-date but only for the ones i'm currently using so i thought that --up variable could be useful to add for other/similar usages * upgrade: rename up flag to running, add example in man page Signed-off-by: Luca Di Maio <luca.dimaio1@gmail.com> --------- Signed-off-by: Luca Di Maio <luca.dimaio1@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Luca Di Maio <luca.dimaio1@gmail.com>
