<para>Bootup is faster (although with Shorewall-perl, the difference

the default restore script and if it exists, the script is run. When

using Shorewall-shell, this is much faster than starting Shorewall

using the normal mechanism of reading the configuration files and

running <command>iptables</command> dozens or even hundreds of

<para>The only time that a program other than
|
|
<command>/usr/share/shorewall[-lite[/firewall</command> performs a state
|
|
transition itself is when the <command>shorewall[-lite] restore</command>
|
|
command is executed. In that case, the
|
|
<command>/var/lib/shorewall[-lite]/restore</command> program sets the
|
|
state to "Started".</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>With any command that involves compilation, there is no state
|
|
transition while the compiler is running. If compilation fails, the state
|
|
remains unchanged.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Also, <command>shorewall start</command> and <command>shorewall
|
|
restart</command> involve compilation followed by execution of the
|
|
compiled script. So it is the compiled script that performs the state
|
|
transition in these commands rather than
|
|
<command>/usr/share/shorewall/firewall</command>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The compiled script is placed in <filename
|
|
class="directory">/var/lib/shorewall</filename> and is named either
|
|
<filename>.start</filename> or <filename>.restart</filename> depending on
|
|
the command.</para>
