Changes for version 0.7 - 2008-10-17

  • Completely re-worked the manner in which iptables commands are executed so that they are sent through a single function with various options (described below) for controlling execution.
  • Added the ability to control iptables execution model. The default is to use waitpid(), but other options are to use system() or popen().
  • Added the ability to introduce a configurable time delay between each iptables command.
  • Added the ability to use a function reference for the SIGCHLD signal handler.
  • Added the ability to configure the number of seconds used as the alarm timeout for iptables command execution in the waitpid() execution model.
