See [main README](../README.md) for details. 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: * upload backup to Mikrotik cloud if [backup-cloud](backup-cloud.md) is installed * send backup via e-mail if [backup-email](backup-email.md) is installed * save configuration to fallback partition if [backup-partition](backup-partition.md) is installed * upload backup to server 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. Configuration ------------- The configuration goes to `global-config-overlay`, this is the only parameter: * `PackagesUpdateDeferReboot`: defer the reboot for night (between 3 AM and 5 AM) By modifying the scheduler's `start-time` you can force the reboot at different time. > ℹ️ **Info**: Copy relevant configuration from > [`global-config`](../global-config.rsc) (the one without `-overlay`) to > your local `global-config-overlay` and modify it to your specific needs. Usage and invocation -------------------- Alternatively run it manually: /system/script/run packages-update; See also -------- * [Upload backup to Mikrotik cloud](backup-cloud.md) * [Send backup via e-mail](backup-email.md) * [Save configuration to fallback partition](backup-partition.md) * [Upload backup to server](backup-upload.md) * [Notify on RouterOS update](check-routeros-update.md) * [Automatically upgrade firmware and reboot](firmware-upgrade-reboot.md) --- [⬅️ Go back to main README](../README.md) [⬆️ Go back to top](#top)
