I have been unsuccessful trying to reset the state table using cron. All I get is 'returned exit status 127'
can anyone help with my code? Here is what I did
/usr/local/opnsense/service/conf/actions.d/actions_ResetST.conf
[start]
command:/usr/local/etc/rc.d/rstate.sh
parameters:%s
type:script
message:starting reset_state_table
description:Reset State Table
usr/local/etc/rc.d/rstate.sh
#!/bin/sh
pfctl -F states
Then ran 'service configd restart' in shell and setup the time in cron.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
1) You could probably remove '%s' (just leave 'parameters:' empty), since this has something to do with passing parameters, which you are not using here.
2) Because you are using a single command, it's a bit overkill to make a separate shell script for it. It would be simpler to do something like 'command:/sbin/pfctl -F states'.
I took your advice and using 'command:/sbin/pfctl -F states'.
No more error. The backend log shows reset started, but no log entry for what it did. Do I need to change something like script to script-output so I can see what the command did?
Yes, I think so, change 'type:script' to 'type:script_output' (with underscore).
I think that work, although the backend log shows it as an error as below.
