        @stephenw10 Can you please help me?
        Where is the standard led program in pfSense filesystem located it would be easier to just call that program if the gateway is up for @wgstarks request. He wants to normalize the LED behavior if the gateway is up. I could just set the scrip to call that program if needed. /dev/led is not listed in 2100 file system

          To normalize it call this program originally sets bootup conditions, I am searching for the file it calls

          /usr/local/sbin/pfSense-led.sh

            set the program to call

            /usr/local/sbin/pfSense-led.sh ready
            

            Use that for the else condition that would normalize it automatically for your model

              Thanks. I’ll test this and see if I can get it working.

                  I got it don't use DNS use the interfaces name and pinger

                  pfctl -vvss | grep -e "mvneta0 icmp"

                  that works!!!

                  #!/bin/sh
                  led_intensity=0
                  while [ $led_intensity -le 8 ]; do
                    gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc2 $led_intensity duty 0 >/dev/null
                    led_intensity=$(( led_intensity + 1 ))
                  done
                  
                  check_current_states=$( pfctl -vvss | grep -e "mvneta0 icmp" )
                  WAN=0
                  case "$check_current_states" in
                    *icmp* ) WAN=1 ;;
                  esac
                  if [ $WAN = 0 ];
                  then
                   sysctl -q dev.gpio.2.led.0.pwm=0
                   gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc2 0 duty 200 >/dev/null
                   sysctl -q dev.gpio.2.led.1.pwm=0
                   gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc2 3 duty 200 >/dev/null
                   sysctl -q dev.gpio.2.led.2.pwm=0
                   gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc2 6 duty 200 >/dev/null
                  else
                    /usr/local/sbin/pfSense-led.sh ready
                  
                  fi
                  
                  

                  2f125920-7993-4542-8edc-f2c09f326fd7-image.png

                  Your mvneta0 might be different over the 2100 check it on Interface Assignments, that is the pinger state used to check to see if gateway is up just use it for the program also

                  YEAH!!

                  Just updated after testing 4:07 7-18-24

                        Do me a favor take a look in
                        /usr/local/sbin/pfSense-led.sh

                        Find your model firewall and tell me what directive is used to change the LEDS…

                        Also peek in /dev/led see if you have that folder, if you do it should be easy to adapt with the directive used for your model

                            After set your cron job to what ever amount of timer you want every min check it or whatever you want. Mine runs every min

                            make sure you chmod the file also so it can run.

                            if you want just do a chmod 777 on it and or a more secure privilege.

                            I have some that run in the day and some at night so this is my 6am - 8:59 one

                              I like the blinking red. More of an attention getter IMO. Working beautifully. Thanks for the script and the help.

                                Is it possible to increase the brightness? And blink all three?

                                  Great, no problem enjoy. I have one that turns purple when my wife has her work stuff on... royal purple means do not mess with firewall when she is working... haha

                                    @wgstarks that you would need to ask an official Netgate rep about, I only have a 2100 so I can only use the directives that my model uses.

                                    I wonder if you can also...

                                    @stephenw10 Do you know what the LED intensity directive is on the 4200?

                                      Only the first and third led's are blinking. I'm fairly sure the code is for all three right? I wonder if it's possible to test them?

                                        @wgstarks does the 2nd glow red? The f2 directive might only work for led 0 and 2 test with the echo command

                                          @wgstarks does the 2nd glow red?

                                          No but I see 0,1 and 2 in the code so wondering if it's a bad led.

                                          Box: SG-4200
