- All scripts associated with a given chain such as Action
chains
If you need to interject run-time code into the generated script then
you need to write it to file descriptor 3. Here is an example of creating
tap device tap0 and adding it to bridge xenbr0; the text will be indented
to line up with the surrounding text:
cat >&3 << __EOF__
${INDENT}if ! qt /sbin/ip link ls dev tap0; then
${INDENT} /usr/sbin/openvpn --mktun --dev tap0
${INDENT} /sbin/ip link set dev tap0 up
${INDENT} /sbin/brctl addif xenbr0 tap0
${INDENT}fi
__EOF__
This results in the following code in the script:
if ! qt /sbin/ip link ls dev tap0; then
/usr/sbin/openvpn --mktun --dev tap0
/sbin/ip link set dev tap0 up
/sbin/brctl addif xenbr0 tap0
fi
(Yes -- there is an extra blank line at the end)
If you need to expand variables in the generated text, be sure to escape
the '$' symbol.
Example:
cat >&3 << __EOF__
${INDENT}addr=\$(ip -f inet addr show $interface 2> /dev/null | grep inet | head -n1)
${INDENT}if [ -n "\$addr" ]; then
${INDENT} addr=\$(echo \$addr | sed 's/inet //;s/\/.*//;s/ peer.*//')
${INDENT} for network in 10.0.0.0/8 176.16.0.0/12 192.168.0.0/16; do
${INDENT} if in_network \$addr \$network; then
${INDENT} startup_error "The 'norfc1918' option has been specified on an interface with an RFC 1918 address. Interface:$interface"
${INDENT} fi
${INDENT} done
${INDENT}fi
__EOF__
In addition to 'generate', a 'shorewall reload' command has been added.
shorewall reload [ -v ] [ -q ] [ <config directory> ]
