Troble setting cron
-
-
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.

I'll check it out…
-
When you select "Daily or Weekly", you can define the hour in the last selection box "Daily/Weekly start hour"

I hope the attached makes my problem clearer.

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
