If the new iptables rules cut the existing connection, the user will not be able to answer affirmatively. In this case, the script rolls back to the previous working iptables rules after the timeout expires. Successfully applied rules can also be written to savefile and later used to roll back to this state. This can be used to implement a store last good configuration mechanism when experimenting with an iptables setup script: $PROGNAME -w $DEF_SAVEFILE -c $DEF_RUNCMD When called as ip6tables-apply, the script will use ip6tables-save/-restore and IPv6 default values instead. Default value for rulesfile is '$DEF_RULESFILE'. Options: -t seconds, --timeout seconds Specify the timeout in seconds (default: $DEF_TIMEOUT). -w savefile, --write savefile Specify the savefile where successfully applied rules will be written to (default if empty string is given: $DEF_SAVEFILE). -c runcmd, --command runcmd Run command runcmd to configure iptables instead of applying a rulesfile (default: $DEF_RUNCMD). -h, --help Display this help text. -V, --version Display version information. __EOF__ } function checkcommands() { for cmd in "${COMMANDS[@]}"; do if ! command -v "$cmd" >/dev/null; then echo "Error: needed command not found: $cmd" >&2 exit 127 fi done } function revertrules() { echo -n "Reverting to old iptables rules...
