How to edit packetfilter rules with PowerShell?

You can do this with cc

Show Firewall Rules objects

su -

cc

packetfilter

rules@

press TAB to see the objects

---

show the settings:

OBJS

REF_xxxxxxxx

---

turn the rule on

cc change_object REF_xxxxxxxx status 1

or off

cc change_object REF_xxxxxxxx status 0

This works fine when I connect to the firewall with putty, but I just can't make it work in an automated script.

I tried executing this with plink, but I always get "bash: cc: command not found" as a result.

Standard Linux commands do work with plink, so the connection is established successfully.

My goal is to have script that a user just has to click a button and the rule is enabled/disabled.

Looks like you dont get the right env, you must log with su -  

Or you could try with

/usr/local/bin/confd-client.plx change_object REF_xxxxx status x

Thank you very much, with the full path instead of cc it works just fine now.
