Hi Viktor,
In these forum they told to edit notices.inc its not create an issue because pfsense is in live.
And in which path i need to upload that .sh script file?

Where ever you want.
Typically, into the /root/ folder.

Install also the cron package, and set up a 'cron' that calls your shell scripts file every X minutes.
Be careful : the script will send a mail every X minutes when the temperature to is high.

Hi Gertjan,
So no need to edit notices.inc? Upload the script file and add to cron was enough?

Gertjan

Check line 24 in the file /etc/inc/notices.inc ;)

Upload the script into /root/ - name it, for example, temp.sh
Be careful not to upload it which a character setting like UTF8 or something like that. It should be UNIX encoded.
Also, make it executable using

chmod +x /root/temp.sh

Then, create a cron entry using the cron package. Use the full path to the script file as the command : /root/temp.sh

To test drive the script : edit it, and set

alert=55

to something like

alert=0

which means you should receive mails every X minutes (Not if you're running pfSense in a fridge).

Hi Gertjan,
Thanks for your reply. How can i upload that script file. It's possible do via Diagnostics--> Edit file.

Please give me the steps it's best.

Thanks in advance

Diagnostics--> Edit file.

Look at it, then never look or even use that option again.

To see / load / upload to any device - not just pfSense, but any device around you (Phones, VCR, Access Points, wall clock, coffee machine, you name it), use a SFTP (example : WINSCP, or the far superior SmartFP) to access you pfSense over port 22.
Also : activate the SSH access.
While you're at it, test also the console access, which show the same info / same access.

Also, install Putty (windows SSH client - MAC users have a SSH client build in).

Ones you have access, install a descend text editor like 'nano' (or use the good old build in editor 'vi'):

pkg install nano

Copy the file using select in the Github windows and Ctrl-C - from here https://gist.githubusercontent.com/JMac87/1303f78c56a54165447568318eeca3b3/raw/8eaf407f0aa90d0134be12b51c0996bf9337da70/cpu_temp_alert.sh (the 'raw' view).

Then, on pfSense, - login menu option 8 - open non exiting filer with nano like :

nano /root/temp.sh

and then paste ( Ctrl-V) the script.
Ctrl-O to write the file, Ctrl-X to exit nano.
'chmod' the file (see above).
etc etc.
