Thanks for talking about hooks, I was unaware of them. In the end it does not matter, my idea was rather to be able to install openwisp / monitoring in openwrt, and since you always have to connect to install openwisp, at the same time you can make crontab work, one option is that you said, in post- registration-hook.
When monitoring is a package, this will not be necessary.
