Remotely reboot PFSense (Script)

[Jeroen]

Hi,

I've sometimes needed to reboot PFSense remotely while not having the ability to
establish a VPN connection to PFSense (To be specific, in my case the
PPTP daemon
for some reason died from time to time).

To overcome this, and to be able to reboot PFSense remotely, I created
very simple PHP
script that sends the reboot request to PFSense from an internal web
server (since the
PFSense interface is not remotely accessible)

Requirements are PHP compiled with the Curl library, and of course a
webserver that
can be reached from the outside. Be sure to have it in a secured place
on the web server
for obvious reasons :P

Who knows, it might save you some time in the future.
