Should I check for new versions of plugins, using the plugins check page after an upgrade or should I check by hand and add any new plugins mods etc to the Moodle tree by hand before I run the CLI upgrade??
Cheers

Upgrade and use the plugins page during the upgrade process
Just 'discovered' ... had a version 2.9.highest and using git to upgrade to 3.0.highest. Upgrade via command line scripts actually failed. Surprise to me! First time in a very long time. Cause: 3.x does much better inspection of plugin compatibility. After running php admin/cli/upgrade.php --non-interactive script did upgrade some of the tables, but stopped with error when reaching that in-compat plugin. So had new core code and the db somewhere in updating but not all the way.
Lesson learned ... check addons via browser *before* all upgrades from lower series to higher series. For sites that were 2.9.highest and upgrading to 3.0.highest as long as all plugins were compat, no issues.

Ah thanks Ken
This was kind of why I was asking as I thought although obvious it might not be so straight forward to upgrade and use the CLI
