> FWIW, but now I use `at` to schedule "up" 1 min in future
Any time I’m ever doing a pfctl to change my router’s firewall rules I schedule a “revert to the n-1 rule set” job two minutes from now to avoid the trip to the basement & hunt for the serial cable.
I do +2 because once I was too close to the next minute, fat-fingered the update command & instinctively corrected it. But the change had reverted before I hit enter on the new update, so of course I blocked too much traffic and wedged my SSH connection, triggering the cursing and trip to the basement with the serial cable.
