      Hi,
      Looking forward to setup a cron job that could restart the DNS forwarder.

      I have already scheduled a job for dhcp relay. not sure though what is the service name for DNS forwarder

      10 0 * /usr/local/sbin/pfSsh.php playback svc restart dhcrelay

      If someone knows about it, Also is there a way to list all the services with pfsense shell

Attempting to issue restart to dnsmasq service...
