/usr/share/examples/ipfw/change_rules.sh:
# Change ipfw(8) rules with safety guarantees for remote operation
#
# Invoke this script to edit ${firewall_script}. It will call ${EDITOR},
# or vi(1) if the environment variable is not set, for you to edit
# ${firewall_script}, ask for confirmation, and then run
# ${firewall_script}. You can then examine the output of ipfw list and
# confirm whether you want the new version or not.
#
# If no answer is received in 30 seconds, the previous
# ${firewall_script} is run, restoring the old rules (this assumes ipfw
# flush is present in it).
