      Hello,

      I lost access to the web GUI on a pfSense router a while back (just hour glass in web browser), and I had to reboot the router to get it back.  I was using the correct https and the correct port.  Restarting WebConfigurator from SSH had no effect.  Is there a way to restart the WebGUI from the command line in case this happens again?

      Thanks,

      Todd

        The way to give it a good swift kick is to do:

        killall -9 php; killall -9 lighttpd; /etc/rc.restart_webgui
