So many people ask to be able to reboot every 24 hours, I think it should be made into a option in the web gui. It would also be nice if you could check a box to reboot the unit if a monitor IP lost its connection.

Never mind figured it out.
I used the reboot command for Freebsd and it works fine:

27 9 * * * root /sbin/shutdown -r now

Thanks anyway.

jimp

Use /etc/rc.reboot

shutdown -r now will miss our pfSense-specific shutdown procedures.

@jimp Is there a command that does use pfSense's specific shutdown procedure?

Derelict

/etc/rc.reboot like he said.
