Pfesense (Free BSD) shutdown cron command

[getafix33]

Howdy

Am in the throws of buying a UPS but would like to shutdown my Pfsense box at 8AM every day. I am happy to manually restart it when I get home from work.

I have downloaded the CRON package but am not sure what commands to use.

THanks

Cron looks good but looks like your command has an extraneous / in it (hard to make out though).

Take out the / and then just test it with another time.

You've still got the extra / in there. Check my original post, you just have to copy and paste it.

Thank you super grandmaster.

BTW the Doc said I had to many / in the command nothing about the -p (with spacebar) as you do wisely pointed out.

The exact command is printed in my first reply. It's pretty clear, hence imran's response.
