Description
-----------

In rare cases RouterOS fails to properly downlaod package on update
(`/system/package/update/install`), resulting in borked system with missing
packages. This script tries to avoid this situation by doing some basic
verification.

But it provides some extra functionality:

* send backup via e-mail if [backup-email](backup-email.md) is installed
* upload backup if [backup-upload](backup-upload.md) is installed
* schedule reboot at night

Requirements and installation
-----------------------------

Just install the script:

    $ScriptInstallUpdate packages-update;

It is automatically run by [check-routeros-update](check-routeros-update.md)
if available.

Usage and invocation
--------------------

Alternatively run it manually:

    /system/script/run packages-update;
