Description
-----------

RouterOS and firmware are upgraded separately, activating the latter
requires an extra reboot. This script handles upgrade and reboot.

> ⚠️ **Warning**: This *should* be bullet proof, but I can not guarantee. In
> worst case it has potential to cause a boot loop, so handle with care!

Requirements and installation
-----------------------------

Just install the script and create a scheduler:

    $ScriptInstallUpdate firmware-upgrade-reboot;
    /system/scheduler/add name=firmware-upgrade-reboot on-event="/system/script/run firmware-upgrade-reboot;" start-time=startup;

Enjoy firmware being up to date and in sync with RouterOS.
