      But my uplink interface is vr0 (LAN) with a cable in it. And I'm usually not up that late ;)

        How could I start the proxy via ssh or console? Then I could simply put in a cronjob to start the proxy at 0:10 every day…

          Okay. I put in a cronjob now for staring the igmp proxy and now the server didn't die! When the cronjob should start the proxy there was a message in the log saying that the address is already in use, so it was running. I am deleting the cron entry again and see if it works now. Probably the box just needed a reboot…

            No. Did not work. Again the proxy dies on PPPoE reconnect. So I'll put in the cronjob again…

              It might be a problem with the package's sync routine not restarting the program properly.

              Try adding the code to restart it to /etc/rc.newwanip instead of a cron job.

              It would be good to know if you can replicate this on pfSense 2.0.

                Okay. Will do this tonight. Can't test it on 2.0, got rid of it. Need a stable device right now. Will tell you tomorrow if it worked…

                Can I simply edit the file via ssh? But this won't be in any backup then, right?

                  You could edit it via ssh, but making a backup is a good idea.

                  You'll just need to remember to use /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw before editing and /etc/rc.conf_mount_ro afterward.

                    Ok. What I meant is that these changes to a file won't be in any backup so I have to do the changes on every update…

                      Yes, that is correct, but this would only be a temporary test.

                      If that does fix it, then the package's sync routine is wrong (it should be sync'd on every run of /etc/rc.newwanip when a new WAN IP is found).  If the package can be fixed, that will be the permanent resolution.

                        Ok. Entered it at the end of the config file:

                        /* reload slbd */
                        /* if ($config['load_balancer']['lbpool']['type'] == "gateway") */
                        slbd_configure();
                        log_error("Configuring slbd");
                        
                        return 0;
                        
                        ?>
                        
                        # temp fix for igmpd restart
                        /usr/local/sbin/igmpproxy -c /tmp/igmpproxy.conf

                            Hey jimp. Any other idea what I might try? Or did I put the command in a wrong position?

                              That was probably in the wrong place. Since that is a PHP script, anything outside of ?> is just html, not a shell command.

                              So put it inside of ?> (up a few lines) and then run it via exec("<command></command>");

                                Ok jimp…

                                Now the files looks like this:

                                /* reload slbd */
                                /* if ($config['load_balancer']['lbpool']['type'] == "gateway") */
                                slbd_configure();
                                log_error("Configuring slbd");
                                
                                return 0;
                                
                                # temp fix for igmpd restart
                                exec("/usr/local/sbin/igmpproxy -c /tmp/igmpproxy.conf");
                                
                                ?>
                                
                                

                                Will tell you tomorrow if this worked…

                                Thanks again!

                                  that looks better. If that doesn't help, you might also try to use mwexec_bg() instead of exec() so it would be launched in the background.

                                    Okay, that didn't work either. Will try the mwexec_bg() version now…

                                          What do the logs on a successful startup look like when compared to that failed startup?
