      I have seen this issue for a while but today wanted to test a little more.

      Here is what I do and see.

      1. ssh'ed to pfS, option 5, Y
      2. See in the ssh session term:

      Netgate pfSense Plus is rebooting now.
      Stopping package arpwatch...done.
      Stopping package snort...done.
      Stopping package Avahi...done.
      Stopping package Tailscale...

      1. See email Notification "Netgate pfSense Plus is rebooting now."

      Then another email in 1 min:

      "12:39:00 Service Watchdog detected service arpwatch stopped. Restarting arpwatch (Arpwatch Daemon)
      12:39:00 Service Watchdog detected service snort stopped. Restarting snort (Snort IDS/IPS Daemon)" (suspect Watchdog and tested with all services removed and it did not help)

      1. UI and ssh (new session) stopped working
      2. Routing seems to be working, e..g I see YouTubeTV streaming
      3. Router is stuck, no UI/ssh access
      4. The console is responding fine and finally I rebooted successfully via it.

      PS: Reboot via the UI and console work fine

      Any thoughts?

        What do you see in the system log for that after you reboot?

        What happens if you disable the service watchdog?

          I saw nothing unusual in the log

          I am aware that watchdog can be disabled, can it?
          I simply removed all services and the problem persisted

            But what is logged? Does it show the reboot script running?

            For example:

                Mmm, so it looks like the service watchdog is restarting a number of services after the reboot script stops them. So the reboot script never finishes.

                Try that again with everything removed from the watchdog.

                    I guess it's not that I can't live without it. I still can use the UI or console. But this does feel like a bug or miss- configuration...

                      How are you running the reboot exactly?

REBOOT VIA CONSOLE ^^^
STUCK HERE!!!!!!

                      If it gets stuck there what are you doing to allow it to continue? There's only a 2s gap in the logs....

                        As I said initially
                        ssh, opt 5, y
                        Wait a minute
                        Go check on console, see that it’s stuck and reboot via console

                        I guess 2 seconds logs is as pfS does it

                          Ah OK I see. So how are you rebooting it at the console?

                              Hmm, OK.

                              So does it reboot correctly from the console if you just run there without first trying via SSH?

                                From the console or via the UI/browser it works fine

                                    Does it work if you ssh in as root?

                                        shutdown -r now

                                        works like a charm tho!

                                        It does sound like the pfS thing bug then?

                                          Just running reboot doesn't shutdown services, backup temp files etc. Something you have running there is failing to stop correctly.

                                            I removed TS from Watchdog, stopped it and it worked!

                                            Maybe relate to the way I deal with running TS as here https://forum.netgate.com/topic/199968/oauth-credentials-trust-credentials-for-tailscale-connection/35
