@NogBadTheBad which package?

Status_Traffic_Totals that I mentioned in my first post.
You also didn’t ask the question I asked in that post.

I had pfsense getting stuck at boot, I tried reinstalling. It won't boot, when rebooting. The problem happened to be serial to vga fix.

@NogBadTheBad just reinstalled, I'll monitor my inbox and let you know.

@NogBadTheBad Still it's keep flooding my inbox, but found this post https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9392 I think we are waiting for fix on package side? Should just keep it uninstalled for now.?
-
@manjotsc I uninstalled it and now I am getting this,

I mentioned reinstalling the package.
Does /usr/local/bin/vnstat not exist on your system ?

@NogBadTheBad yes, I had reinstalled the package, the problem, still same and there is no file, vnstat
-
Sounds like your pfSense install is fubared, think the only way to fix this is a fresh install.
I suspect a disk issue.
Remove the cron entry that reads:-
*/5 * * * * root /usr/local/bin/vnstat -u
That will stop the emails.

@NogBadTheBad Ok, so found the fix, I manually create a file called "vnstat" in that directory, then I was getting "permission denied" messages in log, so just gave it a full permission, and now everything is working fine, no errors nothing.
-
You wouldn’t get the error message if you removed the cron job.
-
@NogBadTheBad Either way, it's good right?
-
You’ll be running a job under cron that’s not required.
Just delete the cron job.
-
@NogBadTheBad All right, done
-
@NogBadTheBad Thanks, for support
