Is your internet connection really that slow?

What packages are you running?

On my system, the update runs when I log on or manually run it. How is your happening?

[johnpoz]

What update are you talking about exactly? IDS/IPS list? Pfblocker lists? Bogon? What exactly - the check if your on the lastest version when you log in?

My neighbor and I share the Internet so sometimes it can get slow. I am running Suricata, Snort, Squit-anti-virus, and Pfblocker.

I am not speaking of the OS...it's the add on...see earlier post.

Not the OS...you guess it...the IDS/IPS, Pfblocker, Squid antivirus. Do I need to run the Cron add-on to do it?

There are already "Cron" entries in the configuration.. Adding the package gives you a way to edit them easily.

Okay, I have seen the generic setting which offers no precise way other than every 12hrs, 1hr, 24hrs, etc. So, are you saying to have the precision of 2am - 3am, I therefore need to use the Cron package?

[johnpoz]

Cron package allows you to be very specific about when jobs run..

Okay, thank you, Johnpoz, I'll try that package.
