[Ovmsdev] OTA Automatic updates (middle of the night)

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

Writing the code last night, it seemed that the shutting down of wifi/simcom/etc was messy.

Perhaps we need to have new signals “ShuttingDown” and “ShutDown”, then make the components responsible for this? So, for example, wifi powers off, server v2 disconnects, logging stops logging to SD, etc, on “ShuttingDown”. Then SD unmounts on “ShutDown”.

A better solution?

Regards, Mark.
