Thread: Ubuntu Linux /etc/init.d/iptables start|stop|restart script

Is it possible make a service with start|stop|restart like apache or ssh?
Sorry i mean that i have my script start.fw and i want include it into the service like /etc/init.d/iptables
Thanks

Why scripts? You need to use ufw - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW

ok i will lunch manualy my iptables.
Thanks

Code:

#!/bin/bash
IPT=/sbin/iptables
IPT6=/sbin/ip6tables
IPTR=/sbin/iptables-restore
IPTCONFIG=/root/.config/fw/firewall.conf
PROG=iptables

_stop(){
	### reset ipv4 iptales ###
	        echo "Stopping iptables..."	
                $IPT -F
                $IPT -X
                $IPT -Z
                for table in $(</proc/net/ip_tables_names)
                do
                        $IPT -t $table -F
                        $IPT -t $table -X
                        $IPT -t $table -Z
                done
                $IPT -P INPUT ACCEPT
                $IPT -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
                $IPT -P FORWARD ACCEPT
                ### reset ipv6 iptales ###
                $IPT6 -F
                $IPT6 -X
                $IPT6 -Z
                for table in $(</proc/net/ip6_tables_names)
                do
                        $IPT6 -t $table -F
                        $IPT6 -t $table -X
                        $IPT6 -t $table -Z
                done
                $IPT6 -P INPUT ACCEPT
                $IPT6 -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
                $IPT6 -P FORWARD ACCEPT

}

_start(){
    ### add your commands here ###
	        echo "Starting iptables..."
    		$IPTR < "$IPTCONFIG"
}


# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
  start)
        _start
        ;;
  stop)
        _stop
        ;;
  restart)
        _stop
        _start
        ;;
  *)
        echo $"Usage: $PROG {start|stop|restart}"
        exit 1
esac

Based on /etc/init.d/iptables source from RHEL. Try it and let me know. Save your existing firewall rules to /root/.config/fw/firewall.conf

Code:

mkdir -p /root/.config/fw/
iptables-save > /root/.config/fw/firewall.conf

Wow beautiful.
Seems functional
Thank you a lot......
