How to delete Cron created by the IDS service, that is no longer being used

[logi]

Yesterday I was playing with the services and turned ON the IDS, then turned it OFF, now I have a Disabled entry in the Cron section in Settings:

Description: ids rule updates
Command: Update and reload intrusion detection rules

I have tried all the possible options to delete it and it is impossible, what should I do to remove it? Thank you

Have you tried enabling the IDS, deleting the cron job, disabling the IDS again?

When IDS is enabled make sense for the cron to exist, I don't want to delete it then, I think when the IDS is being disable, in the clean up process, this leftover cron should have been deleted

I mean to get rid of it - enable, delete, disable. The end result is IDS disabled and cron job deleted.

Didn't work with the IDS service ON, this cron is coming from the Schedule Section in:

Services: Intrusion Detection: Administration: Schedule

Once, you have enabled IDS one time, I think this cron gets created, and it is not removed when IDS is Disabled.

Are you speaking about the cronjobs visible in System > Settings > Cron?

Those are created using configd in

Code Select Expand

/usr/local/opnsense/service/conf/actions.d/

Have a look there in the files, find the related task in the file that contains it and remove the task.

You don't get rid of the cron job, you just disable it.
