Created Cron jobs to restart syslogd in my pfsense firewall with FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT at home twice daily

Subject: Created Cron jobs to restart syslogd in my pfsense firewall with FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT at home twice daily


Good day from Singapore,


[2.8.1-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.teo-en-ming-corp.com]/root: uname -a

FreeBSD pfSense.teo-en-ming-corp.com 15.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT #21 RELENG_2_8_1-n256095-47c932dcc0e9: Thu Aug 28 16:27:48 UTC 2025     root@pfsense-build-release-amd64-1.eng.atx.netgate.com:/var/jenkins/workspace/pfSense-CE-snapshots-2_8_1-main/obj/amd64/AupY3aTL/var/jenkins/workspace/pfSense-CE-snapshots-2_8_1-main/sources/FreeBSD-src-RELENG_2_8_1/amd64.amd64/sys/pfSense amd64

[2.8.1-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.teo-en-ming-corp.com]/root: cat /etc/os-release

cat: /etc/os-release: No such file or directory

[2.8.1-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.teo-en-ming-corp.com]/root:


My pfsense firewall at home had stopped logging a few times or several times in the recent past few months. Not sure whether it is the work of Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) hackers.


The most recent incident occurred on 24 Mar 2026 at about 3.00 PM Singapore Time. syslogd logging had stopped for 1 week (7 days). I have totally no firewall logs at all for 1 week.

Upon discovery, I had restarted syslogd in the firewall webGUI on 31 Mar 2026 at about 1.00 PM Singapore Time.


To prevent logging from completely stopping on my pfsense firewall at home, I have created 2 Cron jobs to restart syslogd service twice daily.


0 3 * * * root service syslogd restart

0 15 * * * root service syslogd restart


Hopefully with the above workaround, my pfsense firewall at home will not stop logging again.


The above Cron jobs were created on 7 Apr 2026 Tuesday at about 1.02 am Singapore Time.


Regards,


Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming
