And it probably is. Debian init scripts have their functionality mandated by the boot and package management system; they have to behave in a certain way for those things to work like they are supposed to. They are not intended primarily as a user interface. Sometimes it's convinient to run them by hand, and sometimes it isn't. This would probably be one of those times when it's best to leave the init script to handling the boot/install/upgrade/uninstall processes that it was designed for, and do any unusual stuff by running shorewall directly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
