Boot sound once in a while
-
No, really the booting sounds. When you boot the firewall, it does 4 sounds. I get that sound
-
Heard it 3 times today!
-
Are you in a position to uninstall and reinstall the firewall from scratch, maybe something didnt "take" or something during installation?
Failing that can you go back to version 2.0 and see what happens then?
-
Not really. It was kind of a pain to install. No CD-Rom, installed on a USB Stick and it's a Production firewall. I would rather find what's causing this. Must be a trigger somewhere.
-
Anything? I hear the sound 3-4 times per day.
Thanks

You could disable the sound completly:
System–>Advanced-->Notifications-->System Sounds -
It wouldn't play that sound unless it was actually rebooting. The only place in the base system that calls "beep.sh startup" is in /etc/rc and that only runs at boot time. No packages call beep.sh either.
The shutdown beep (ends on a low note, not a high one) gets run from system_reboot_cleanup() and that in turn only gets called from functions that shut the system down.
So if you are hearing the beeps and the system isn't actually rebooting, someone must have manually added some code somewhere to run beep.sh, perhaps in a cron job.

Someone or something.
I hear it 3-4 times a day. Around 8:00-8:30am, I hear it every morning but my uptime shows: 31 Days 13 Hours 27 Minutes 56 Seconds

I have a Spiceworks server that connects from time to time to get my machine states. Could that be it?
It connects through SSH
-
That would depend on the commands being run by that server when it collects information
-
Spiceworks will use these commands/files/methods:
dmidecode
/etc/resolv.conf
SNMP
dmidecode or lshw
/proc/meminfo
hostname
uname -a
finger
ifconfig -a -
Close the question. I AM SO NEWB.
I had an old pfsense who kept rebooting by itself due to hardware issue. So I changed it but left the old one there but close. After a electricity breakdown, it went back by itself. So what I was hearing was the old one rebooting.
Had to switch from nanobsd to full to realized that. While the new pfsense was shutdown, I hear the startup sound. DAH!!!
Thanks for your help guys…. sorry
