Restart IGMP Proxy - HOW?
-
Can anyone tell me the command from the CLI to restart the IGMP Proxy?
Many Thanks,
James -
On which version of pfSense?
If you're on 2.1 or later (e.g. 2.1.2), this should work:
pfSsh.php playback svc restart igmpproxy
-
Thanks a lot for the help.
I am getting the following when I try that command, any ideas?
[2.1.2-RELEASE][james@pfsense.mshome]/home/james(13): pfSsh.php playback svc restart igmpproxy
Starting the pfSense shell system…............
Attempting to issue restart to igmpproxy service...

Hi james_h,
Try running the command as the user root. Your personal user account probably doesn't have the necessary permissions.
-
Yes, you need to run it as root or use the sudo package to run it as your own user
-
I managed to install the sudo package as I'm accessing remotely and don't have RSA Keys setup for the root user.
The IGMP Proxy was restarted from the command line with:
#sudo pfSsh.php playback svc restart igmpproxy
I then played around with the cron job tool and have managed to schedule a working IGMP Proxy restart at 01:00 every morning with the following command ran as root:
/usr/local/sbin/pfSsh.php playback svc restart igmpproxy
Hopefully now the 2 channels which kept going off after a couple of days (Nickelodian and Disney) will stay working and my wife will be off my case.
Thanks a lot!!
