I was editing some entries in the Cisco PIX 515 here at my workplace. I deleted something in the wrong location before I removed it from another location. It has locked the PDM from web access. I can still telnet to it, but the GUI won't respond.

I need to make some further changes today. In the past, in order to reset the PDM, I would need to reboot the firewall. It's a quick process, but it drops the users connections to the outsourced Citrix server. Plus, it would mean IT (me) has goofed up, and I don't want to have to admit that. :blush:

I am looking for a way to restart the PDM without having to reboot the PIX. Does anyone here know if that can be done?

do not use the PDM for any reason other than reporting. There is a bug with the PDM that cisco has never fixed. Cisco is aware of the issues with the PDM and recommends to not use it at all. But it is there for you to use.

The PDM ends up creating an obscene amount of code in the pix. If it has worked for you great, consider yourself lucky. I have had the luck of it screwing up a vpn tunnel so bad that it took a cisco engineer an 8 hr day to figure out heads or tails of what was going on. Every engineer that you will ever get on the phone at cisco will tell you to never use the PDM. As far as getting it working you can try a reboot, but if you saved any changes between when it failed and you going into a telnet or ssh session do not expect it to come back.

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By Abercrombe · Posted

      Ninja Theory was great until Microsoft acquired them. They let them spend a decade on two games, with a third on the way, that explore mental health and were OK interactive experiences. Sony appears to be able to choose better IPs to develop, particularly single player. I'm probably going to buy a PS5 just for Wolverine and God of War Laufey (which reminds me of Heavenly Sword when Ninja Theory was with Sony making games).

      Good riddance to a terrible studio. They've done nothing but over promise features and fall flat with the releases they've put out.

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.
