Title: Schedules not working
Post by: xayide on December 28, 2016, 05:16:19 pm

I run the newest build of 16.7 (11 I think).
I added a schedule and attached it to a floating rule, the is not enabled or disabled and traffic still floats. If I toggle enable/disable manualy it works. Do I need to do anything more to get it running? Any logs to look in?

Should the enable/disable change when schedule is used?

Would be nice if one could enable/disable rule by crond job.

Hi xayide,

Scheduled rules are refreshed every 15 minutes, not more, not less. This is a very old behaviour we've avoided to touch out of lack of better alternatives that don't require reengineering the process.

If there is a problem despite waiting 15 minutes, we need to look into it. The scheduling is already using a cron job like suggested.


Cheers,
Franco

Aha ok Thanks..Got it working. Seems it doesn't disable the job just the rule is omitted if time is out.

What do you mean by "doesn't disable the job"?
