+ssid-changer.sh
+===============
+
+This script changes the SSID when there is no connection to the selected Gateway.
+
+Once a minute it checks if there is a gateway reacheable with `batctl gwl -H` and
+decides if a change of the SSID is necessary.
+
+*It is a simplified rewrite of https://github.com/ffac/gluon-ssid-changer that doesn't check
+the tx value any more. It is in use in Freifunk Freiburg*
+
+emergency.sh
 ============
+this repository also includes an emergency script which checks for a working batman-adv
+gateway connection. If no Gateway connection exists some countermeasures are started:
 
-Script to change the SSID when there is no suffic sufficient connection to the selected Gateway.
+ - 3 min offline - call `wifi`
+ - 5 min offline - restart fastd
+ - 7 min offline - restart networking
 
-It is quite basic, it just checks the Quality of the Connection and decides if a change of the SSID is necessary.
+If no countermeasure works bringing the node online again, the router will be enforced
+to reboot after 10 minutes.
 
-Create a file "modules" with the following content in your <a href="https://github.com/ffac/site/tree/offline-ssid"> site directory:</a>
+*Note: this script may cause a problem for users, that use the node on purposes intended
+to work without functioning gateway connectivity, for example as a switch (disable
+the cronjob there).*
+
+Gluon versions
+==============
+This branch of the skript contains the the ssid-changer version for the gluon 2016.1.x
+based on openwrt `chaos-calmer`. There is also a pre 2016.1 (barrier braker based)
+version in the branch `master`. It will probably not work in 2016.2 yet.
+
+Implement this package in your firmware
