The files in rc.config, as you suggest, have parameters which are read by the start up scripts for certain services. These scripts are located in the run level directories rc1.d, rc2.d etc. These are links to scripts in the init.d directory (at least in HP-UX).

Anyway the point is that the start up script for this firewall should be located in one of the run level directories, and the syntax to start such a service is usually:

/sbin/rc1.d/[firewall_script] start

It may not be in rc1.d, it may be in the other run level directories, you can check these out. Look in the init.d directory if you're unsure where it is - the command will be the same, only the pathname will be different.

This is how you would the service manually.

Hope this helps.

Regards.

startpar

STARTPAR(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       STARTPAR(8)

NAME

       startpar - start runlevel scripts in parallel

SYNOPSIS

       startpar [-p par] [-i iorate] [-t timeout] [-T global_timeout] [-a arg] prg1 prg2 ...
       startpar [-p par] [-i iorate] [-t timeout] [-T global_timeout] -M [ boot|start|stop]

DESCRIPTION

       startpar  is  used  to run multiple run-level scripts in parallel.  The degree of parallelism on one CPU can be set with the -p option, the
       default is full parallelism. An argument to all of the scripts can be provided with the -a option.  Processes blocked by pending  I/O  will
       cause  new  process  creation  to be weighted by the iorate factor 800.	To change this factor the option -i can be used to specify another
       value.  The amount weight=(nblockedxiorate)/1000 will be subtracted from the total number  of  processes  which	could  be  started,  where
       nblocked is the number of processes currently blocked by pending I/O.

       The  output  of	each  script is buffered and written when the script exits, so output lines of different scripts won't mix. You can modify
       this behaviour by setting a timeout.

       The timeout set with the -t option is used as buffer timeout. If the output buffer of a script is not empty and the last output was timeout
       seconds ago, startpar will flush the buffer.

       The  -T option timeout works more globally. If no output is printed for more than global_timeout seconds, startpar will flush the buffer of
       the script with the oldest output. Afterwards it will only print output of this script until it is finished.

       The -M option switches startpar into a make(1) like behaviour.  This option takes three different arguments:  boot,  start,  and  stop  for
       reading .depend.boot or .depend.start or .depend.stop respectively in the directory /etc/init.d/.  By scanning the boot and runlevel direc-
       tories in /etc/init.d/ it then executes the appropriate scripts in parallel.

FILES

       /etc/init.d/.depend.boot
       /etc/init.d/.depend.start
       /etc/init.d/.depend.stop
