Offline mode sounds me as a better name. But i think that it is not good to re-invent the wheel, insted make WPKGClient check the exit code of -pre (and -post?) scripts and provide some good example script. One more fine-grained solution will be to 'code' some 'non-0 exit code' to -pre script, as: If exit status is: 1 stop any subsequent actions 2 execute -post script but not wpkg.js itself 3 immeditely reboot 4 start wpkg.js with /forceinstall ... -pre script are server side, so if you brake something on it it is easy and safe to fixup. -- dott.
