Cron with freeradius2 reset counter command
-
Following these instructions
So if you would like to reset the counter daily at midnight you need to manually add a cron job. Easiest way to do so is to install the "Cron" package from pfSense package manager: Reset everyday at midnight:
minute hour mday month wday who command
* * 0 * * root /bin/rm /var/log/radacct/datacounter/daily/used-octets-*I have done this and nothing seems to reset , how ever if I execute the command manually in PF it works.
I left it running two nights in a row and the users still had the same amount of used bandwidth.

probably my mistake in the wiki. Try this.
minute hour mday month wday who command * 0 * * * root /bin/rm /var/log/radacct/datacounter/daily/used-octets-*
Should reset the counter at 0 o'clock
