Title: Two issues after 26.1.7 update — actions.d emptied and WOL cron parameter escapi
Post by: echinida on May 08, 2026, 10:24:29 AM
After updating to 26.1.7_3 on Apr 30, two issues occurred:

All files in /usr/local/opnsense/service/conf/actions.d/ were deleted, breaking all cron jobs and configd actions silently. Fixed by running pkg install -f opnsense to restore missing files.
WOL cron jobs stopped working due to the new shell escaping changes in 26.1 — space-separated parameters in the cron parameters field are now passed as a single quoted string instead of two separate arguments, breaking wol wake. Workaround is adding the job directly to /etc/cron.d/.
