      Thanks, now I see the light!  There doesn't seem to be a 'weekly' in the list.

        @BBcan177:

        The last dropdown select box (Daily/Weekly start hour) is the setting that you're looking for…

        When I set this to "3", it wants to run my daily CRON at 1 AM. What might I be missing?

          This depends on what settings you configured for the first cron selection box.

            It's set to Daily.

                When you select "Daily or Weekly", you can define the hour in the last selection box "Daily/Weekly start hour"

                    But when I look at my pfBlocker widget, it looks like everything is OK. So it's just a bug with the "Update" panel, I think….

                        It's actually not a bug ™... ;)

                        The Update tab uses the Cron Hourly setting. The Cron hour setting is used in the cron task.

                        The Daily/Weekly setting is used to define a specific Alias/Group to use a different hour setting. So even if the Cron setting is defined as "hourly", the "Daily/Weekly hour" can be used to only download an Alias/Group at the "Daily/Weekly" hour setting.

                        Hope that answers your question.

                          What I mean by the bug is that "1:30" shows up as the next update time in the update tab…please see my original screenshot.

                          Thanks again,

                          Drew

                            Sorry for the resurrection,

                            I seem to be experiencing the same issue, and my cron update won't go past 1 AM, and I'm on pfsense 2.5
