How to manually start firewall after system completed boot.

2013-04-17 Thread Joe
I have special purpose situation where I need to wait until the boot 
process has completed the starting of the system and then start the 
firewall (ipfw or pf). Commenting out the firewall statements from the 
hosts /etc/rc.conf does stop the firewall from starting at boot time.


Is there some format of the service command that could be used to 
manually start the selected firewall?


Any ideas on how to accomplish this is welcome.

Thanks

The boot process, as used here, is simply a series of calls
to various scripts in /etc/rc.d ... any of which can (theoretically)
be invoked by itself.  The details of this may be important;
_please_ do more research before blowing yourself up.  :-)

You can use onestart/onestop if the service is not enabled in rc.conf.

service pf onestart
or /etc/rc.d/pf onestart

How about the rc.d framework?

# /etc/rc.d/ipfw start

Or

# service ipfw start

Both will honor the firewall_type= setting in /etc/rc.conf
(here: for IPFW).
