One of the stupidest things you can do is update something as soon as the new version comes out...
Especially with RouterOS....

Apart from that, the script is full of bulls–t.
For example, after the update installation starts, the system automatically reboots without the need to reboot it with the commands...
Restarting the routerboard after 10 seconds that the update has started to be downloaded, could cause an incomplete download that upon forced reboot could be installed by mistake, and being incomplete would not restart anymore.

Not to mention that if the script is on multiple machines, installing and restarting poe switches while the connected peripherals are updating creates other problems.

Not to mention that comparing versions is useless, because "install" only installs the new version if it is not the same one already installed.

So to hurt ourselves like fools, this line is enough:

Code: Select all

/system package update ; check ; install

In short, the script, which I seem to have already reviewed elsewhere, is a load of c–p.
