Run "opkg save" from LuCi commands (opkg extras)

[NilsRo]

Hi all, hi @vgaetera

I like the opkg extras to manage the packages but I missed an option to run opkg save from Webinterface. So I installed LuCi commands plugin and try to execute opkg save from there but it does not work. The command can be executed only from shell. I tried to run opkg.sh from profile.d folder but there are no execution rights. Before I break something I want to ask what is the best way to run opkg save from Web GUI.

Cheers,
Nils

Perfect. You should add this to the Wiki page. Would be very helpful to save the profile directly after installing a package via Luci.
