It was a light-hearted aside after reading all the ideas and options, not aimed at your post (I didn’t quote anyone’s post). I know thelonelycoder said he’d go with the majority. Just a light-hearted comment for Christmas.I'm sorry if offering my opinion makes him sorry that he asked for it.
ä guäts Nüüs Jahr!
Thank you for everything you do.Thank you all for the responses to the proposals in this post. I heard you loud and clear: Colors, logic, and the ones that don't care.
Here's the result. One for the purists, one in color.
Note that the next amtm version will not return to the main menu when no updates are found, it will stay on the update page.
Notice the m instead of e to return to the menu when running u.
I'll see you all in 2020. Cheers!

Gschobä! (Swiss-German: Offhand way to return given wishes)
@sentinelvdx even if the drive isn't that old, some just aren't compatible I've found. I chuck them into the ??? pile and just use another that works without issues.
You could make a backup of all your files and settings and do a full clean re-install of both the JFFS partition (format on next reboot...) and use amtm to format your USB drive with Ext4 w/journaling on. Put on a 2GB (max) swap file and then clean install all your scripts. If it continues getting corrupted then; it is actually the nand that is failing. It if doesn't get corrupted on a reboot/shutdown, then it was (most probably) your previous settings.
If it was determined that the nand was failing; use a new USB drive along with your saved backup files and enjoy fault-free reboots once more.
you leave nothing to Chance do you?@BryanB, which firmware and what router?
Generally, nothing is lost by trying just doing a 'dirty' upgrade. But if/when issues occur, a full reset is generally recommended.
It also won't hurt to create a backup of your current firmware (including the actual installer, settings and a backup of your USB contents and the JFFS partition) before you flash anything new too.
Not when it means a return trip to one of his customers
I would go ahead and do it. Make a (dated and with firmware version number) backup of the settings and jffs before you upgrade.
