<a class="ulink" href="shorewall-rules.html" target="_self">shorewall-rules(5)</a>). You define
the iptables rules to be performed in an ACTION in
/etc/shorewall/action.<span class="emphasis"><em>action-name</em></span>.</p><p>ACTION names should begin with an upper-case letter to distinguish
them from Shorewall-generated chain names and they must meet the
requirements of a Netfilter chain. If you intend to log from the action
then the name must be no longer than 11 characters in length. Names must
also meet the requirements for a Bourne Shell identifier (must begin with
a letter and be composed of letters, digits and underscore
characters).</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><a id="id257934"></a><h2>FILES</h2><p>/etc/shorewall/actions</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><a id="id257944"></a><h2>See ALSO</h2><p><a class="ulink" href="http://shorewall.net/Actions.html" target="_self">http://shorewall.net/Actions.html</a></p><p>shorewall(8), shorewall-accounting(5), shorewall-blacklist(5),
