Hello,
I use this scipt in openWRT V 24 for packet updates:
#! /bin/ash
opkg update
RC=$(opkg list-upgradable)
if \[ „$RC“ == „“ \];then
exit
fi
opkg list-upgradable | cut -f 1 -d ’ ’ | xargs opkg upgrade
and i copy it in the Sbin Folder and it works in V 24, but now it need to modify to apk
Like this ? and in which Folder it must be copy with scp ?
#! /bin/ash
apk update
RC=$(apk -u list)
if \[ „$RC“ == „“ \];then
exit
fi
apk -u list | cut -f 1 -d ’ ’ | xargs apk upgrade
and need the script a chmod in openWRT V 25 ?

Yeah, like @lleachii indicates, don't do that . Read my remarks on the thread he links above.
But in case you are a gambler, there's no need for a specialized script, just apk commands.
apk update # update package indexes
apk version # list all the packages that are out-of-date
apk upgrade # upgrade the packages that are out-of-date

If you have more than 5 Rotuers it would be nice to update in a simple Way with a script or not ?
There's also a pre-canned response to post in threads such as this:
Upgrading packages (via the CLI opkg upgrade command or the LuCI Upgrade... button) can result in major problems. It is generally highly discouraged , unless you know what you are doing or if there is specific instruction to do so.

I yes router soft brick in v24 upgrading netifd.
owut check -v
# read the text
: owut upgrade -v
Yes, last command in my script fragment is also commented so that you check through output....
I suppose that warning can be removed, or, 'softened' now that most packages in 25.12 are stable. snapshots were a turkey-shoot. "Whoops, there goes libx dep"
