During autoupdate on OSX Catalina the agent refused to restart.
We pinpointed the problem to a likely behaviour on Catalina preventing software from changing itself.
As a workaround now the agent copies itself at launch, and autoupdates the copy instead of itself.
When the copy is launched it copies itself in the main executable and start it.
