Despite what the people above say: no!...

The reason is simple: not all scripts provide a mechanism to check for updates, and not all scripts can be found in the official scripting database to check against.

For those scripts which do provide an (auto-)update mechanism, yes, such a script exists (but it can still fail for certain scripts). For scripts which don't provide an (auto-)update mechanism but are listed in the official database, it can be tricky and not always working since the checking is always done on the script's name (which can be changed, or which can be the same as another script, etc). Not to mention that many scripts utalize their own version numbering which is not always accordin to version numbering rules and thus can't always be checked in a logical alphanumerical way.

And as long as there isn't a solid unified, but versatile, update mechanism provided by Plus! itself and used by all (most) scripts, this will never be 100% possible...
