// A WordPress plugin to hit the dashboard of every site in a MultiSite network

This plugin is designed to address an issue regarding updating plugins in a MultiSite environment. If a plugin update needs to perform any database updates or other maintenance tasks, doing so in a MultiSite environment can lead to large problems. This plugin addresses this by providing a utility to touch the backend of every site in a MultiSite environment, thus allowing the updated plugin to perform any required updates.

For a more thorough description of the problem, see my ticket on Trac: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/28694
