pfSense

I receive the following trying to use those commands from the shell (option 8) or php shell (option 12)

pkill: Cannot open pidfile `/var/run/kea/kea-dhcp4.kea-dhcp4.pid': No such file or directory

Can't reproduce it on 24.11

[24.11-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.home.arpa]/root: pfSsh.php playback svc restart unbound
Attempting to issue restart to unbound service...

unbound has been restarted.

[24.11-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.home.arpa]/root: pfSsh.php playback svc restart dnsmasq
Attempting to issue restart to dnsmasq service...

dnsmasq has been restarted.

I'm not seeing this on 24.11 nor 25.03.

I did see a similar error come through on boot on 25.03, before any commands were issued.

Is this reproducible or perhaps just a coincidental timing?

This is 100% reproducible on my 4100. It is running both dnsmasq and unbound. Tried on PVE VM with both enabled and unable to reproduce.

I can reproduce the error manually with pkill by killing the process and repeating (possible the command is getting repeated or running after the pid dissapears?):

pkill -9 -F /var/run/unbound.pid
pkill -9 -F /var/run/unbound.pid
pkill: Cannot get process list (kvm_getprocs: No such process)

I see the same error in the boot log:

Starting webConfigurator...done.
pkill: Cannot get process list (kvm_getprocs: No such process)
Starting DHCP service...done.
Configuring firewall......done.

I tested other services on the 4100 and there is no error.

pfSsh.php playback svc restart wireguard
Attempting to issue restart to wireguard service...
wireguard has been restarted.
pfSsh.php playback svc restart sshd
