In this case it would be good to have shorewall set some kind of timer and then try to restore all the providers 1-2-5 minutes after the partial start.

I started compiling rpm's some 1-2 months ago, and I have some 2-3 post a day in average on StarV3 forums helping other members. Some 15 days ago I started joining few mailing lists like libvirt's and yours and I am going to file my firs kernel bug with the Red Hat. Since I like to learn and enhance my knowledge, and would like to promote Linux in general, and of course leave my mark in the linux community,IF I find the time, I will see what I can do with Webmins module too. But no promises. >>> /etc/shorewall/init is intended for just this sort of thing.
