I only can answer point 1) of your question by now: this feature is already 
implemented in the HEAD-version (alpha status) so it will come sooner or later 
(somewhen in 2008 i think)

Betreff: [pfSense Support] How to schedule shutdown and box heartbeat

Hello,
I've two problems since I updated pfSense box to the
latest version (1.2 RC2).

1) To schedule 'planned' shutdowns I used to edit
/etc/crontab by using vi through a ssh shell, but now
it seems to be a bad habit, because pfSense overwrites
it at the next reboot. I've found out I have to edit
the config.xml. Is it right? 

1b) Regarding 'unplanned' shutdowns: for example, if I
need to shutdown or reboot the pfSense box once at
8:00PM without the need to edit critical systems file,
I thought to use the AT unix utility, but I don't
understand what syntax I have to use. Can you help me?

2) Does pfSense offer a heartbeat feature? I explain
better: think to the same feature offered by Windows
NT based operating systems, which shows in the Event
Viewer when the system boot ups and shutdowns. How can
I track such activities in a plain text log file?

Thank you in advance both for support and the great
product pfSense is!
