why not just use the built-in features of the shutdown command? if you are editing files, i would assume you are logged in on a terminal anyway: shutdown -r 1800 (to reboot at 6pm). here is the man page for shutdown (since it wont be on your pfsense box) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=shutdown&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.2-RELEASE&format=html if you just want to know how long since last reboot... type 'uptime'. cheers, -- Jonathan Horne http://dfwlpiki.dfwlp.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
