      Do me a favor take a look in
      /usr/local/sbin/pfSense-led.sh

      Find 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.

          Or to just turn on solid red

          Please let me know if that works unplug wan it should come on red when you test it.

          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?

                IMO

                Great, no problem enjoy. I have one that turns purple when my wife has her work stuff on... royal purple means do not mess with firewall when she is working... haha

                  @wgstarks that you would need to ask an official Netgate rep about, I only have a 2100 so I can only use the directives that my model uses.

                  I wonder if you can also...

                  @stephenw10 Do you know what the LED intensity directive is on the 4200?

                    Only the first and third led's are blinking. I'm fairly sure the code is for all three right? I wonder if it's possible to test them?

                      @wgstarks does the 2nd glow red? The f2 directive might only work for led 0 and 2 test with the echo command

                        No but I see 0,1 and 2 in the code so wondering if it's a bad led.
