You're welcome.

Don't forget to customize calibre-update.sh for your particular needs.

For exemple, backup before update:

#!/bin/bash
if python calibre-check.py; then
        . backup-library.sh
        sudo python -c "import sys; py3 = sys.version_info[0] > 2; u = __import__('urllib.request' if py3 else 'urllib', fromlist=1); exec(u.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read()); main(install_dir='/opt')"
else
        echo "Calibre is up-to-date"
fi

Now with acrobatics:

#!/bin/bash
if python calibre-check.py; then
        killall calibre-server
        . backup-library.sh
        sudo python -c "import sys; py3 = sys.version_info[0] > 2; u = __import__('urllib.request' if py3 else 'urllib', fromlist=1); exec(u.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read()); main(install_dir='/opt')"
        calibre-server --port 8080 --restriction Novels --daemonize
        calibre-server --port 8081 --restriction News --daemonize
        calibre-server --port 8082 --restriction DontLetTheKidsSeeThis --daemonize --password=mykidswonteverfindit --username=momndad
else
        echo "Calibre is up-to-date"
fi

Although the three calibre-server commands should rather be in a calibre-servers.sh of their own, so you'll be able to kill/restart whenever you want.
