This was the command I typed from the shell:

echo "shutdown -r now" | at "xx:yy"

It seems it won't be executed at xx:yy
I've done a search on the net and according to FreeBSD
Man Pages, 'at' command is composed of several
subcommands (such as atd,atq,atrm,atrun) which seem to
be missing in current pfSense's implementation.
If you read here:
<http://nixdoc.net/man-pages/FreeBSD/atrm.1.html> it
says:
"Note that at is implemented through the cron(8)
daemon by calling
atrun(8) every five minutes.  This implies that the
granularity of at
might not be optimal for every deployment.  If a finer
granularity is
needed, the system crontab at /etc/crontab needs to be
changed".
So I opened /etc/crontab, but atrun entry is missing.
Has 'at' been stripped away from pfSense build, since
its components (e.g atrun, etc...) are missing?
I don't know if something changed and those man pages
are updated or not.

Regarding heartbeat's feature, I thought to run a
custom script during the FreeBSD startup and its
shutdown, but I don't know how this unix OS works.
