WIO Log

After I first installed WIO, it shutdown (powered off) the firewall. This has only happened one time. WIO has been running for a few days.

Stephan - I'm not sure how to test this.  If it needs git, I do not have git installed on my production ipfire.  I'd be happy to test on a VM if you can tell me how to test.

I think we have to separate two things here:

- The fact that WIO starts a shutdown if just ONE of the clients went offline is definetly a bug.

- The fact that WIO tries to shutdown the host when "Shutdown when all clients are offline" is ticked is AFAIS a feature.

From my understanding this tool was developed for hosts that SHALL be shutdown if there's no access from clients any more. Just think of something like a NAS in your home network.

So IMHO the best solution would be to remove this option completely from the IPFire port of this tool.

Problem is solved with the patch from 04.06.2019, because the IPFire box shutdown when a single client was tested manually and the result of the test was that the single client was offline.
