reboot a specified configuration file?
-
In the Cisco world there is an option to reboot the router (using the the saved configuration file) in X minutes. Useful command - that can get you fired if you are not careful - if you are making a change on a remote router and your SSH session becomes non-responsive because of that change. If you ran that reload command earlier - say with a delay of 15 minutes - you can make your change - if successful - cancel the reboot. If you lose connection than you can sweat a bit until the router starts pinging again. Does Pfsense have anything remotely like that? A simple timed "shutdown" command will just reload the current config that may contain a change that created the issue in the first place. I need some way to specify a specific configuration. I'm sure I can script all this but was hoping that knob already existed...just to repeat I also need a CLI way to cancel the requested reboot...
Thanks for any suggestions...

No there's nothing built into pfSense to do that. As you say you could script it easily enough but it would need to be something custom. There are probably example of such a script on the forum though since it's a relatively common request.
