      Hello fellow Netgate community members,

      Can you please help?

      I want to schedule an update to replace this file, so I no longer have to do it manually. Anyone know where the custom file saves to? Or the script that checks it? Can I create a script to update this with a cron job? Has anyone done this?

      this updates everday:

      I am hand adding it into snort every day. Can we automate this?

      Make sure to upvote
