Pre-upgrade/Post-upgrade scripts
The pre-upgrade and post-upgrade script feature allows you to execute a user defined
script before and after a software system upgrade.
The scripts run only when there are packages to install, they will not run when
“showing” packages that could be installed.
During a real upgrade, the router will try and download the scripts from the same
location as is configured by the Change Repository Server page. The router will
attempt to download a file named “pre-upgrade” and execute it before the upgrade
starts. After the upgrade completes (including Webmin) the router will attempt to
download a file named “post-upgrade” and execute it.
The scripts start with #!/bin/bash or #!/usr/bin/perl and be designed to produce
consistent results in the event they are subsequent run a second time. It is possible
that the upgrade can be interrupted after the preupgrade script runs, and re-started at a
later date.
The result of running the pre-upgrade script is included in the upgrade output. If ran
through the automatic upgrade, the scripts output can be viewed by through the “View
Log File of Last Upgrade” button on the Software Upgrade System page.
Example of a post-upgrade script: The following post-upgrade script will send an
email notification when upgrade completes (assuming SMTP is configured properly).
#!/bin/bash
echo "Subject: Software upgrade for Release rr1.9.0 on `hostname` completed" > /tmp/mail
echo "To: controlcenter@ruggedcom.com" >> /tmp/mail
echo "Software upgrade for Release rr1.9.0 on `hostname` completed at `date`" >> /tmp/mail
echo >> /tmp/mail
cat /tmp/mail | ssmtp controlcenter@ruggedcom.com
rm -f /tmp/mail
