Just a quick enquiry on rebooting

[TheLyppardMan]

Here's some simple questions for our experts: Is it always necessary to reboot the router after installing a new script? For instance, I noticed that the leds control script adds something to the services.start file, so does that mean that you definitely need to reboot the router to get it to work? Also, if any scripts don't add anything to the services.start file, does that mean that those scripts don't require a reboot, unless instructed otherwise during the installation procedure?

Reboot the router after any changes to test that the changes are still enabled and working as expected afterward.

If the script requires a reboot, it will do that during installation. I would still reboot afterwards, to test all is well.

Reboot and test right after the changes. You don't want to find out 3 weeks later whatever you installed is actually not working.
