      echo f2 > /dev/led/blue_0
      echo f2 > /dev/led/blue_1
      echo f2 > /dev/led/blue_2

      try this one

      #!/bin/sh
      echo 0 > /dev/led/blue_0
      echo 0 > /dev/led/blue_1
      echo 0 > /dev/led/blue_2
      echo 0 > /dev/led/red_0
      echo 0 > /dev/led/red_1
      echo 0 > /dev/led/red_2
      echo 0 > /dev/led/green_0
      echo 0 > /dev/led/green_1
      echo 0 > /dev/led/green_2
      
      check_current_states=$( pfctl -vvss | grep -e "igc3 icmp" )
      WAN=0
      case "$check_current_states" in
        *icmp* ) WAN=1 ;;
      esac
      if [ $WAN = 0 ];
      then
       echo f2 > /dev/led/red_0
       echo f2 > /dev/led/red_1
       echo f2 > /dev/led/red_2
      else
        /usr/local/sbin/pfSense-led.sh ready
      
      fi
      

      Or to just turn on solid red

      #!/bin/sh
      echo 0 > /dev/led/blue_0
      echo 0 > /dev/led/blue_1
      echo 0 > /dev/led/blue_2
      echo 0 > /dev/led/red_0
      echo 0 > /dev/led/red_1
      echo 0 > /dev/led/red_2
      echo 0 > /dev/led/green_0
      echo 0 > /dev/led/green_1
      echo 0 > /dev/led/green_2
      
      check_current_states=$( pfctl -vvss | grep -e "igc3 icmp" )
      WAN=0
      case "$check_current_states" in
        *icmp* ) WAN=1 ;;
      esac
      if [ $WAN = 0 ];
      then
       echo 1 > /dev/led/red_0
       echo 1 > /dev/led/red_1
       echo 1 > /dev/led/red_2
      else
        /usr/local/sbin/pfSense-led.sh ready
      
      fi
      

      Please let me know if that works unplug wan it should come on red when you test it.

      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?

            @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

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

                      Can't open that file. the led directory is locked (555).

                              @wgstarks look at the open source file on GitHub it’s all open source, git hub should be open non locked
