How do I check whether pfSense was not cleanly shutdown?

[pitchfork]

where would I look for indication that is the case, aside from watching the console during a boot up?

[kiokoman]

open the console and launch a fsck, it will run in read only mode and it will tell you if the system need to be corrected

[pitchfork]

That tells me if the filesystem has problems, but an unclean shutdown might not necessarily cause a FS problem.

how can I tell it didn't shutdown properly?

It may not be possible unless pfSense has some kind of custom handler for that.

[kiokoman]

type on console

last reboot

idk if it tell you about unclean/clean reboot, i don't have unclean reboot to check

This is promising.

Does anyone know how to place a shutdown hook in pfSense? Is there a facility to make this easier?

Here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/278166/18568. Especially this part. I will try it in FreeBSD next time I suspect an unclean shutdown:

You put startup scripts and kill scripts in /etc/rc.d.
