I want to setup a cronjob that changes the WiFi password on a daily basis (the password will be shown on an external display).

I can put together a script that changes the relevant hostapd.conf, but I'm wondering: is there a better way to do it in OPNsense? Something like a higher level CLI?

Same for restarting the network interface for which the password has been modified: what's the OPNsense way to do it from a script?

you need to update config.xml and then you have to reload the interface configuration for the wireless interface.
