+Manage system update
+====================
+
+[◀ Go back to main README](../README.md)
+
+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:
+
+* send backup via e-mail if [email-backup](email-backup.md) is installed
+* upload backup if [upload-backup](upload-backup.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.
+
+Usage and invocation
+--------------------
+
+Alternatively run it manually:
+
+ / system script run packages-update;
+
