If you install Shorewall-perl under Shorewall 3.9.2 or later, you can override the SHOREWALL_SHELL setting using the ''-C'' command-specific run-line option. ''-C shell'' means use the shell compiler ''-C perl'' means use the perl compiler Example: shorewall restart -C perl The ''-C'' option is allowed on any command that invokes the compiler. I''ve documented this feature in the release notes for Shorewall 3.9.4. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net PGP Public Key \ https://lists.shorewall.net/teastep.pgp.key ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
