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.
> **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;
