        Hover the mouse over the Stop button :

        The "Services Status" status dash board widget is a file you can find here : /usr/local/www/widgets/widgets/smart_status.widget.php
        This file will bring you straight to /etc/inc/services-utils.inc, where services like the captive portal can be stopped and started.

        As cron task can be an executable (so you have to build your own^^) or, most often, look at all the pfSense cron tasks already present, a script file.
        Now you know where to find the examples that shows you how to do that.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??
