# Mikrotik Firmware Auto Updater
The script automatically updates the router to the latest firmware.  
When script finds new update it sends an email notification that upgrade process has started, system backup and config file are in the attachment. After firmware and routerboard got updated, it sends the second email which tells that upgrade process finished.

## How to use
##### 1. Create new script
System -> Scripts [Add]  

**Imprtant!** Script name has to be `firmware-updater`   
Put script source and **set your email address** to the variable `emailAddress`
