20.1 Legacy Series / Cron Weirdness 2

« on: June 27, 2020, 06:44:40 am »

Code: [Select]

OPNsense 20.1.7-amd64
FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p20-HBSD
OpenSSL 1.1.1g 21 Apr 2020
I was wondering why an old cronjob was still executed at 6am according to the log files

Code: [Select]

2020-06-27T06:00:00 configd.py: Waking Thinkserver
when the current config (GUI) was as follows

Code: [Select]

1 0 1 * * /usr/local/sbin/configctl wake wake
1 0 15 * * /usr/local/sbin/configctl wake wake
A similar issue was reported here: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=15420.0

So I checked

Code: [Select]

oot@OPNsense:~ # cat /var/cron/tabs/nobody
And yes it appeared that my old config was still being used

Code: [Select]

# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE -- OPNsense auto-generated file
#
# User-defined crontab files can be loaded via /etc/cron.d
# or /usr/local/etc/cron.d and follow the same format as
# /etc/crontab, see the crontab(5) manual page.
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
#minute hour mday month wday command
0 06 * * * /usr/local/sbin/configctl wake wake
Only after I manually removed the entry in /var/cron/tabs/nobody
 and then clicked Apply in the GUI  (without creating/modifing or deleting an entry) the current config was loaded

Code: [Select]

oot@OPNsense:~ # cat /var/cron/tabs/nobody

Code: [Select]

General Discussion / Question: Is WOL on demand possible?

« on: June 06, 2019, 08:22:18 pm »

Hi,

I'd like to do the following: Opnsense sends a WOL everytime  a client from LAN (own subnet) is requesting access to my home server on OPT1(own subnet).

I know there is the wol plugin but to my knowledge it only allows you to either wake up clients manually or via cron. Any ideas?
