24.7 Production Series / Cron Job "Update and reload firewall aliases" not working

Many thanks franco. Fully understand your point.
Sorry for my additional question:
As far as I read inside this forum and github, the refresh frequency of any alias will be checked every minute and be fetched/updated automatically without any triggered cron job.
Possible source: https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/c5555b2ebc4c2285fb40d3a1a22c1966820bc64e
Therefore, I assume that the cron job will never be fast enough to update any aliases before the aliases will do it by itself. It checks every minute and will fetch/updates it once the refresh frequency is over.
So can it be, that this cron job has no right to exist anymore? 😉
Or does fetching the Alias not updates the according NAT/Rules? Is the update and reload cron job always needed?
Many thanks and take care,
Wrigleys
