+====== opnSense Cron Jobs ======
+Basically, it uses [[http://www.manpagez.com/man/8/configd/|configd]], so you have to create a service definition for your new script.
+<code>
+cd /usr/local/opnsense/service/conf/actions.d
+</code>
+Create a file with the name //actions_NAME.conf//, where //NAME// is something meaningful to you. The file should have a basic win ini format, with the action needed, then a bunch of lines describing what to do.
+Example of a file named actions_updatedns.conf:
+<file name=actions_updatedns.conf>
+[reload]
+command:/root/updateDNS
+parameter:
+type:script
+message:update Daily Data DNS
+description:Update Daily Data DNS
+</file>
+Now that you have added a new config, you need to reload configd so it will read it:
+<code>
+service configd restart
+</code>
+And, test that you did everything right
+<code>
+configctl updatedns reload
+</code>
+the script /root/updateDNS will be run. You can create multiple actions (stop,start) in the same file with different scripts and/or parameters.
+Once this is done, the string after message (or description, I don't know which) will show up as a possible cron job in the opnSense GUI
+The log files are stored in /var/log/configd.log
