Description
-----------
The primary use of this script is to notify about RouterOS updates.
Run from a terminal you can start the update process or schedule it.
Centrally managing update process of several devices is possibly by
specifying versions safe to be updated on a web server.
Also installing patch updates (where just last digit is increased)
automatically is supported.

Requirements and installation
-----------------------------
Just install the script:
$ScriptInstallUpdate check-routeros-update;
And add a scheduler for automatic update notification:
/ system scheduler add interval=1d name=check-routeros-update on-event="/ system script run check-routeros-update;" start-time=startup;
Configuration
-------------
Configuration is required only if you want to control update process with
safe versions from a web server. The configuration goes to
`global-config-overlay`, this is the parameter:
* `SafeUpdateNeighbor`: install updates automatically if seen in neighbor list
* `SafeUpdatePatch`: install patch updates automatically
2020-03-27 20:42:19 +00:00
* `SafeUpdateUrl`: url to check for safe update, the channel (`long-term`,
`stable` or `testing`) is appended
Usage and invocation
--------------------
Be notified when run from scheduler or run it manually:
/ system script run check-routeros-update;
If an update is found you can install it right away.
Installing script [packages-update](packages-update.md) gives extra options.
