        I have Cron Entry enabled
        I see in Cron UI

        16	3	*	*	*	root	/usr/local/pkg/acme/acme_command.sh "renewall" | /usr/bin/logger -t ACME 2>&1
        

        I have NAT/WF rule on schedule

        Mon - Sun 3:15 3:30
        

        I check via Status > System Logs > General and filter Message for ACME
        ... and I see no traces of ACME executed in time range

        PS: Manually running ACME works fine

        You see something wrong with these steps ?

          When did you last update the ACME package? I just put out the update with the log entry for cron in the last couple days. If you updated today, for example, you'd have no log entries for it yet.

          Also if your system log is especially busy, it may not go back far enough to show log entries from then.

            I am running ACME version 0.5.3.

            Is it good ?

            And cron says:

            | /usr/bin/logger -t ACME 2>&1
            

            and here see my log https://snag.gy/auomlf.jpg

            Maybe it will show up tomorrow ?

              It might, but like I said, if your log is very busy it may have scrolled off before you checked.

                that's an interesting point.

                But if you look at my log as above, you see ALL entries for 1/25/19, don't you? Where would it be ?

                Still consider show on the UI. I bet you majority of people would love that :)

                  The earliest it shows is 7:42 AM, the log entry would have been from 3:16 AM. It might have already fallen off the start of the circular log.

                      Ah, sorry, I hate reverse logs, my brain always sees top=oldest.

                      Try searching with ACME in the process field, not the message.

                          I also wanted to mention that after being using ACME for several days I say that you deserved kudos and thank you's for maintaining its code ....

                            Didn't had a look myself yet .... but it's there : exactly at 03h16 minutes sharp :

                            Btw : using an external syslogger.

                            edit : grepping using the magic word ( = ACME) nailed it in a split second.

                            Edit : and where are the logs ??

                              Just wondering when I see in logs those entries ("Renewal number of days not yet reached"), can I assume that NAT/FW rule for port forwarding was used and worked successfully?

                                No, that is only a local check of the certificate expiration date

                                    You can force it via the UI but that won't test your schedule since it's time-based.

                                    There isn't an easy way to test that until it runs again naturally.

                                    You could edit the cron job, add -force to the acme script call parameters, then wait overnight for the schedule to trigger, but that's not ideal either.

                                      What if I lift schedule temporarily and run in command line:

                                      /usr/local/pkg/acme/acme_command.sh "renewall" --force

                                        Just one dash -force.

                                        If you disable the schedule so the rule is always active, then it should work to test just the renew, but that still doesn't help you test the schedule or the cron job.

                                          @jimp I realize this. My goal to test an odd port fowarding and it did seem to work.

                                          "Reload success" is this sufficient ?

                                            If you see the cert in the list with an updated valid/expiration date, then yeah.
