Sometimes you might need to run some software after firmware update has been completed. Updatehooks enable you to run script you want after gateway update and persist_move
What they are
Updatehooks are programs located in /etc/updatehooks.user.d/ and executed in first boot after firmware update. This means that they need to have their execute file permission and possibly shebang.
Creating
You can create new updatehooks to /etc/updatehooks.user.d/1. These programs can be e.g. bash or python scripts with shebang #!/bin/bash or #!/usr/bin/python3 or binary executables. The most important thing to remember is to have them with the executable flag e.g. Access: (0755/-rwxr-xr-x).
Please note: The updatehooks cannot access the internet as they are run by gw-system-persist at a very early stage of booting.
