> Some may want to install on startup as well.
Mmmhhh... someone may want to 'execute something' on startup, i think
that everyone want to install the software, when they are installed can
be a detail...
So executing -pre and -post script on startup i think will suffice, and
if it is really needed to install immediately some software, we can add
a value to the 'reboot' flag (reboot="forced" ?) that simpy schedule an
immediate reboot, eg:
a) pre-script executed
b) wpkg.js do their job, scan package and queue the
installation/upgrade
c) if there's some package with reboot="forced", start immediately a
reboot.
Note that M$ decided to download hotfixes first and then install on
shutdown, so i suppose this is the best choice for windows...

Clearly the game can be made complex as you want.
An option would be to set on per-package an option that choose when install
(on startup, or sutdown/reboot). Cool feature, but really needed?

It is hard to reply outer of the generic topic of 'offline mode', at
least for me.
As stated, i will disable logon delay at all, because for executing
only pre- and post- script i think it is not needed, or at least we can
circumvent it (using execute="always", for example).
As a safety mesure we can still use logon delay to process -pre, wpkg.js
and -post script, but with a delay of, eg, 1/2 minutes.

Clearly can be an option (host or package based), but i thing it is a
needed prerequisites for a real 'offline mode'.
