Would this work in order to schedule the firmware update? For example, tonight just before midnight:
# configctl firmware auto-update | at 2359 mar 30
Yes that would work. It's a pretty clever solution for this https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/1798 -- offering a GUI would complicate this a lot more.

Sure, although that is not a one-shot mode...

I considered that but I did not want the job to automatically repeat. My use case is that I admin an OPNsense device for my friend's business and I prefer not to apply updates right away. Instead, I wait a few days to make sure that no major issues are being reported and then I apply the update during non-business hours.

Yeah
You should have to disable the Cron next morning
Or a week later. The normal release time is every 2 weeks
@franco maybe another cron Job which disables itself after 1 run would be an idea
It's a lot of work for a little comfort. I applaud using at utility... very nifty.
