<title>/sbin/shorewall reload command (Added in 3.2.0 RC4)</title>
<para>The <ulink
url="starting_and_stopping_shorewall.htm#Reload"><command>reload</command>
command</ulink> allows for easy updating of remote firewall systems by a
non-root user. At shorewall.net, I keep my firewall configurations in
sub-directories under ~/Configs. The name of the directory corresponds
to the DNS name of the system.</para>
<para>To recompile the firewall script for the system named gateway and
to install that script on gateway, I issue the following
commands:</para>
<blockquote>
<programlisting>teastep@wookie:~$ <command>cd Configs/gateway</command>
teastep@wookie:~/Configs/gateway$ <command>/sbin/shorewall reload gateway</command>
Compiling...
Shorewall configuration compiled to ./firewall
Copying ./firewall to gateway:/var/lib/shorewall-lite...

Copy complete

done.
System gateway reloaded
teastep@wookie:~/Configs/gateway$</programlisting>
</blockquote>
<para>The user running the <command>reload</command> command must have
ssh access to the remote system. I use RSA keys and ssh-agent so I don't
need to enter a password each time the command runs scp or ssh; I only
need to supply the password once when I log onto my desktop
system.</para>
