Allow WWAN Connection restart schedule to be set through config
Not ApplicablePublicFEATURE REQUEST

Description

Summary

At the moment VyOS automatically attempts to reconnect WWAN interfaces through a cron script baked into the source. This has a cron schedule as follows:-

*/5 * * * *

i.e. "run every 5 minutes". I would like to be able to set that schedule through the configuration

Use case

Depending on the use case, it may be necessary to perform this reconnection check much more or less frequently. Instead of making a compromise guess we can allow the user to decide how often they want to reconnect

I think this specific task has now been made redundant by the move towards netlinkd being responsible for performing reconnections off of kernel events. Therefore I recommend this ticket be closed
