How to restart racoon service via shell script?
-
I've customized script which ping GRE endpoint inside ipsec tunnel. I would like to restart racoon in case GRE endpoint is not reachable via script using
pfSsh.php playback svc stop racoon
pfSsh.php playback svc start racoonwhen i put those lines into script it seems OK - i've got informational message - below - about it, but in reality it looks like those two lines do nothing? no ping is lost towards GRE endpoint for example
–---
Starting the pfSense shell system...............Attempting to issue stop to racoon service...
racoon has been stopped.

racoon has been started.
any ideas?
add info:
i've also tried to use this PHP instead of those two commands
#!/usr/local/bin/php -q
require_once('vpn.inc');
vpn_ipsec_force_reload();
?>but got this error while executing, now I'm completely stuck
Fatal error: Call to undefined function killbypid() in /etc/inc/vpn.inc on line 1026

working php for ipsec restart is
#!/usr/local/bin/php -q
require_once("util.inc");
require_once("functions.inc");
require_once("pkg-utils.inc");
require_once("globals.inc");
require_once("ipsec.inc");
require_once("vpn.inc");
require_once("service-utils.inc");
require_once("vslb.inc");vpn_ipsec_force_reload();

i'm aware that few of listed are not needed at all -
the "pfSsh.php playback svc start racoon" works for me, if I execute it from shell (PuTTY from my pc)
when I issue this command, I can see in the system log: "php: pfSsh.php: Forcefully reloading IPsec racoon daemon" and after 3-4 lost pings, it pings again.
Can you post your script, because I have the same problem with ipsec, and trying to solve it. But I'm really rookie in scripting. ::)
