Notify on RouterOS update

◀ Go back to main README

🛈 This script can not be used on its own but requires the base installation. See main README for details.

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.

Sample notification

check-routeros-update notification

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
  • SafeUpdateOnCap: check for updates even if device is managed by CAPsMAN
  • 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.
