So every night I shut down my PC, then I shut down OPNsense via a single press on the power button, then I turn of my switched power strips of the PC and my hi-fi system and at last I turn off the PSU switches off my cable router and the OPNsense box.
But once in a blue moon OPNsense doesn't shut down but reboots.
Here are the general logs of two shutdowns, the second one (Jan. 14th) had that behavior, the other one (Jan. 13th) didn't have it.

But the strange thing is there is nothing in the general log between 22:52:39 and 17:16:45 when I heard the boot sound of OPNsense.
A normal shutdown is no more possible then. I then have to do a hard shutdown of the OPNsense box (holding down the power button for some seconds).
So how can I find the issue here? And by the way why is the boot log only starting from the last boot?
