These steps outline how to manually identify and re-run the remote agent update cron job that normally executes on schedule. This is useful if you need to trigger the update immediately without waiting for the cron schedule.

**Manual steps to re-run a remote agent updade cron job**

1. List all cron jobs for the current user:

:::BlockQuote{indent="1"}
crontab -l
:::

2. Locate the cron job entry containing your host, for example: us1.swimlane.app.

:::Paragraph{indent="1"}
Example entry:
:::

:::BlockQuote{indent="1"}
0 0 1 1 \* curl -s https\://\<domain>/orchestration/api/account/\<account-id>/tenant/\<tenant-id>/v1/agents/update | bash -s -- -d "/usr/bin/docker"
:::

3. Copy just the command portion (everything after the 5 schedule fields).
   In the example above, that would be:

:::BlockQuote{indent="1"}
curl -s https\://\<domain>/orchestration/api/account/\<account-id>/tenant/\<tenant-id>/v1/agents/update | bash -s -- -d "/usr/bin/docker
:::

4. Run it manually to trigger the upgrade.

:::BlockQuote{indent="1"}
curl -s https\://\<domain>/orchestration/api/account/\<account-id>/tenant/\<tenant-id>/v1/agents/update | bash -s -- -d "/usr/bin/docker
:::
