The command omd update provides the suppression of confirmation dialogs via the --conflict flag. This flag is passed to cmk-update-config.

However, an important use-case was not covered by omd update: If you have a backup, you might want to ignore all errors and ensure that the update would not be aborted by omd. Even if passing --conflict=install, some update actions can abort the update.

An update with the option --conflict=ignore will now always continue upon detecting a conflict.
