bash client: alias and firewall rules patching

[ndejong]

Hi @Methraton -

There are two issues here, the first one is easy, you can issue a send_event with POST data filter reload to cause the same reload action you are doing in the GUI
https://github.com/ndejong/pfsense_fauxapi#user-content-send_event

The second issue is not so clear from the description provided, however the error you are getting is the built in mechanism that prevents a bad config from being saved in the first place, so something is somehow not right - based on what you have described it sounds-like you might be trying to patch something that should just be saved with config_set
https://github.com/ndejong/pfsense_fauxapi#user-content-config_set

let us know how it goes

I actually have a similar problem as your second issue. I'm using config_patch to simply disable a rule, and I get a similar error

my json file looks like this:
{
"filter": {
"rule":{
"id": "",
"tracker": "1xxxxx",
"type": "block",
"interface": "lan",
"ipprotocol": "inet",
"disabled":"",
"tag": "",
"tagged": "",
"max": "",
"max-src-nodes": "",
"max-src-conn": "",
"max-src-states": "",
"statetimeout": "",
"statetype": "keep state",
"os": "",
"protocol": "icmp",
"icmptype": "any",
"source": {
"address": "192.xxxxxx"
},
"destination": {
"address": "4.2.2.2"
},
"descr": "",

},
"updated": {

}
}
}
