You checked this : https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Executing_commands_at_boot_time ?
Or this : the Cron package ?

Hi,
the first link is about "boot time" and is not what I want: i want that all days at some time system execute a command.

Now I installed as you suggested the "cron package" and added my command. Now I will check if row will be removed.

Thanks for your help!

Best regards!

The /etc/crontab file is constructed at boot time.
Use the info found here https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Executing_commands_at_boot_time to "add" your own lines. The will last because the file only gets created ay boot time.
