Purpose of new folder userModules

[pz1]

I guess the purpose of new folder userModules (in delevelop branch) is to store userdefined automation modules which will survive a firmware update. The question is, may I use that folder to store other files that I want to keep across versions? For example some bash script files or other js files like my_openremote.js that I still use for some functions that are not yet in the OpenRemote helper.

Basically it is saved across installation and we do not care what is inside. But we scan it in AutomationController.js to initiate modules, so you will get errors on each failure of initiate an inproper module. May be we need to add userFiles for this?

The potential of errors was indeed what I feared. Hence the question
userFiles would be a clean suggestion. Would it be possible to have the .syscommands file there as well?

We are better to also move it in the installer/updater in that place, since it is not part of automation, but JS extension.
