[SOLVED] Scheduled Reboot
«

I see under maintenance, that there ar 2 options, reboot and power off.
is there any chance to have a scheduler to perform reboots as various times.
practical reason is i have an old white box running opnsense, and it packs up.

hey hey,
you can use a Cron Job for that. Sadly there is no action configured to reboot the system.
I wrote a tutorial on how to send backup files on a TFTP Server which works exactly like the way you want your server to reboot.
The obvious problem here is: It's in german.. lol
Maybe u can still get something out of it:
https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=3853.0
Basically what u need to do is:
1.) Write a shell script which would reboot the system
2.) Create a new "action.conf" in "actions.d"
2.a) The new action needs some input like this:
[start]
command:/directory/your_new_script.sh start
parameters:<keep this empty>
type:script
message:<some message to know whats happening>
description:<some description to know whats happening>
3.) Restart the config Daemon by using this: service configd restart
4.) Now go to your Cron Tab in the WebGUI: https://<LAN-WEBGUI-IP>/ui/cron/
5.) choose a time when to start the script -> Apply
Thats it.
Have fun and hopefully it works
Best regards

Yes, I too would like to see this built-in - my regular complete hang since upgrading to 17.1 would be more bearable if I could reboot the firewall each day. At least until a fix is released.

I'm in the favor that this should be available, without the need to do any manual cron jobs.
This was, every think is from within the gui [even though it run scripts in background]
perhaps there should be a forum, where we put in requests of what features we'd like to have.

Here is your "Forum" to ask for any Feature Requests:
https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues
My Idea of using a cron job+Script was just a workaround.

Done:
https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/a0689d4f
Does not ship with 17.1.1 tomorrow as it is already done, so make sure to either reapply or wait for 17.1.1 to apply:
# opnsense-patch a0689d4f
Cheers,
