the only reason is 'cleanup' and fallback to normal operation if something very stupid happens. we deciced to use this "russian method", after realizing, that there is always one error more we did'nt catch. we use a 'maintenance window' at ~4 o'clock to do that. it has more advantages, than disadvantages... bye, bastian _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
