@JonathanLee
So I could just use something like 8.8.8.8 for the static WAN? -
@wgstarks That's the DNS yes if the gateway went offline I am sure that state would no longer exist. Try that unplug wan for 10 mins see if it glows red plug it v=back in wait ten mins see if it normalizes. Great idea
-
@JonathanLee
Do you know what the factory default is for the “or else”? -
I think it is very close too..
sysctl -q dev.gpio.2.led.2.pwm=0 gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc2 8 duty 30 >/dev/nullit pulses blue like that... I never used the default once I went to custom blinking light mode
Remember you have to disable the others before you change it back with
sysctl -q dev.gpio.2.led.0.pwm=1 gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc2 0 duty 0 >/dev/null gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc2 1 duty 0 >/dev/null gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc2 2 duty 0 >/dev/null sysctl -q dev.gpio.2.led.1.pwm=1 gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc2 3 duty 0 >/dev/null gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc2 4 duty 0 >/dev/null gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc2 5 duty 0 >/dev/null sysctl -q dev.gpio.2.led.2.pwm=1 gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc2 6 duty 0 >/dev/null gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc2 7 duty 0 >/dev/null gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc2 8 duty 0 >/dev/nullThis would be like a reset turns them all off..

@JonathanLee
Thanks. Might be simpler to just set it to red and green. I never remember what the default patterns mean anyway.

@wgstarks One other item with the custom LEDs you will not see the firmware LED program run so I added a email alert for updates program with it that another user shared on Netgate...
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/137707/auto-update-check-checks-for-updates-to-base-system-packages-and-sends-email-alerts/
That way you still get a alert that you have updates without the Orange LED
-
Thanks. Have had that installed for a while.

@stephenw10 Can you please help me?
Where is the standard led program in pfSense filesystem located it would be easier to just call that program if the gateway is up for @wgstarks request. He wants to normalize the LED behavior if the gateway is up. I could just set the scrip to call that program if needed. /dev/led is not listed in 2100 file system -
To normalize it call this program originally sets bootup conditions, I am searching for the file it calls
/usr/local/sbin/pfSense-led.sh
-
set the program to call
/usr/local/sbin/pfSense-led.sh readyUse that for the else condition that would normalize it automatically for your model
-
Thanks. I’ll test this and see if I can get it working.

I got it don't use DNS use the interfaces name and pinger
pfctl -vvss | grep -e "mvneta0 icmp"
that works!!!
#!/bin/sh led_intensity=0 while [ $led_intensity -le 8 ]; do gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc2 $led_intensity duty 0 >/dev/null led_intensity=$(( led_intensity + 1 )) done check_current_states=$( pfctl -vvss | grep -e "mvneta0 icmp" ) WAN=0 case "$check_current_states" in *icmp* ) WAN=1 ;; esac if [ $WAN = 0 ]; then sysctl -q dev.gpio.2.led.0.pwm=0 gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc2 0 duty 200 >/dev/null sysctl -q dev.gpio.2.led.1.pwm=0 gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc2 3 duty 200 >/dev/null sysctl -q dev.gpio.2.led.2.pwm=0 gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc2 6 duty 200 >/dev/null else /usr/local/sbin/pfSense-led.sh ready fiYour mvneta0 might be different over the 2100 check it on Interface Assignments, that is the pinger state used to check to see if gateway is up just use it for the program also
YEAH!!

Do me a favor take a look in
/usr/local/sbin/pfSense-led.shFind your model firewall and tell me what directive is used to change the LEDS…
Also peek in /dev/led see if you have that folder, if you do it should be easy to adapt with the directive used for your model

Maybe this is what you need.

After set your cron job to what ever amount of timer you want every min check it or whatever you want. Mine runs every min
make sure you chmod the file also so it can run.
if you want just do a chmod 777 on it and or a more secure privilege.
I have some that run in the day and some at night so this is my 6am - 8:59 one

I like the blinking red. More of an attention getter IMO. Working beautifully. Thanks for the script and the help.

Is it possible to increase the brightness? And blink all three?
