ipfw-persistent-table

Persist the ipfw tables.

• work via console, as network connections may be lost.

autosave on shutdown and load on startup

• make the script runnable. e.g.

chown root    /usr/local/sbin/ipfw-persistent-table
chmod u+x,go= /usr/local/sbin/ipfw-persistent-table

• add the script to firewall_coscripts in rc.conf. e.g.

firewall_coscripts="/usr/local/sbin/ipfw-persistent-table"

manual load, and save.

• /usr/local/sbin/ipfw-persistent-table save
• /usr/local/sbin/ipfw-persistent-table load

call via cron, to update current tables.

• put the line to call this script, such as

*/30 * * * * root /usr/local/sbin/ipfw-persistent-table cron

feel free to customize it to suit your own environment. cheers,
