how to run iptables

Asked by aneesh

Hai all friends

I have a iptables firewall script in my ubuntu 8.04 server, I can flush the firewall script using " iptables -F " , Is there any command for running iptables script without restarting the pc.Since it is very critical server I cannot restart the server and it has no graphical mode available.

 I actually want a command for running my iptables script .
             My iptables script name is aneesh and also entered the path of aneesh
in rc.local file. After I flush the script through "iptables -F " , how can I again run the script without restarting the system. Here no graphical mode is available to run graphically.

i do not know about rc.local file.
i know this way:
sudo iptables-restore < /etc/iptables/iptables.txt

Can you help with this problem?
