    Hello,

    I lost access to the web GUI on a pfSense router a while back (just hour glass in web browser), and I had to reboot the router to get it back.  I was using the correct https and the correct port.  Restarting WebConfigurator from SSH had no effect.  Is there a way to restart the WebGUI from the command line in case this happens again?

    Thanks,

    Todd

      The way to give it a good swift kick is to do:

      killall -9 php; killall -9 lighttpd; /etc/rc.restart_webgui
