If you already use rancid, you can make cron run clogin -c "clear xlate" <hostname> at 2am. Arne :) -----Original Message----- From: firewall-wizards-bounces () listserv icsalabs com [mailto:firewall-wizards-bounces () listserv icsalabs com] On Behalf Of Ian Rarity Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2008 4:23 PM To: Firewall Wizards Security Mailing List Subject: [fw-wiz] Scheduling PIX commands Hi all, We've just made some changes to our PIX config, and we need to clear the xlates to make the changes fully live. The only problem with this is that we also have another system that will react badly (to put it mildly) to the state of all its connections disappearing when we do this. This system gets an hour's downtime at 2am, so the ideal time to clear the xlates on the PIX seems obvious. The only problem is that, although I'm mainly nocturnal, I really can think of better things to be doing at 2am than sitting in our server room. Does anyone know of a way to schedule commands to run at a specified time on a PIX 6.3 firewall? Ta, IR. ********************************* Ian Rarity Technical Engineer ESPC (UK) Ltd.
