Firewall script is a common shell script. You don't need to run 'ipfw
<script>'.
Flushing the rules is usually done by script itself.
For example:
#!/bin/sh
ipfw="/sbin/ipfw"
${ipfw} -f flush
${ipfw} <rule>
${ipfw} <rule>
${ipfw} <rule>
...
This file should be executable (chmod +x). You can also put any non-ipfw
additional commands in this file if you want.
Try to make such script, execute it and write again about the results.
