NAME

6       iptables-apply - a safer way to update iptables remotely
7

SYNOPSIS

9       iptables-apply [-hV] [-t timeout] ruleset-file
10

DESCRIPTION

12       iptables-apply   will  try  to  apply  a  new  ruleset  (as  output  by
13       iptables-save/read by iptables-restore) to iptables,  then  prompt  the
14       user  whether the changes are okay. If the new ruleset cut the existing
15       connection, the user will not be able to answer affirmatively. In  this
16       case,  the  script rolls back to the previous ruleset after the timeout
17       expired. The timeout can be set with -t.
18
19       When   called    as    ip6tables-apply,    the    script    will    use
20       ip6tables-save/-restore instead.
