◀ Go back to main README

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

• 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 gives extra options.
