      @mcury Looking in the firewall rules, the aliases do work. But I can't see any files in the log-section of pfB. After I run reload manually, I see those files... Don't know what to think about it. Shellcmd doesn't seem to make any difference about that.

        @Bob-Dig according to this link:

        https://forum.netgate.com/topic/111940/quickest-way-to-reload-pfblockerng-rules/2

        BBcan177 stated that the command above may be dangerous in case the cron job is already running.
        So, take that in consideration.

        In that link, he also explains the logs missing.

        dead on arrival, nowhere to be found.

          I am not sure if this is what I meant. Anyway, if the aliases themselves are saved to the disk anyways, then I don't need Shellcmd I guess. Will have to reboot yet again. 😝
          Yep, aliases are there in any case, now I will watch what regular cron update will do to the "logs" (not reloading).

            @mcury Much Ado About Nothing from me, I should have looked in the rules before, everything works right away. Regular cron is rebuilding the files in "log". So Shellcmd does nothing in this regard and is not needed anyways. 🙂
