How to set PfSense to do auto re-reboot in 5 minutes or [any min] after power was auto restored.
It will save my time from having to re-reboot every time power gets cut off. I mean the system needs to be re-reboot in 3 or 5 minutes after auto powering when the power injects back....Any help is commanding me to thank the pfSense Family unconditionally.
Ha khensa.

Not clear, why you want to reboot the machine after it even booted 3 minutes before. But you can do that with a simply cron job. -
Mmm, this seems dangerous. You could very easily get stuck in a loop rebooting every 5 mins.
Why do you need to reboot after it boots back up?

In English...
@reboot <- look for this to create the cron job
if Reboot Flag set clear flag then end
else Set Reboot Flag and sleep for 5 minutes and restartDo you need to restart because links are not up yet?
