You're right about the --weekdays code though. I tried it with days, and the rule would apply-- I was getting an error.
I tried the rule by itself (no time) and it blocked me off of my router (and I assume every wireless AP). However, I can't get it to work with the time rule. The rule will apply fine, I'll reboot, but I still have access to the internet. I was going by my Android's time. I would set for a time that would give me enough time to reboot and still have access. That time would pass, and I would still have access to the internet.

Figured it out! I opened the terminal emulator, typed
Code:
date
And it gave me the date and time. It was giving me GMT. So all I had to do for the iptables rules was add 4 hours (I'm Atlantic Time in Canada).
Worked like a charm.
So my rule for the phone (if that's what my friend wants) will be
Code:
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -m time --timestart 03:30 --timestop 11:30 --weekdays Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat -j DROP

I do have one more question, though. I don't have data, nor does my friend's son, but in case there is a parent or someone reading this right now that wants to do something similar to what I did, and they are dealing with a phone that DOES have data, will iptable rules apply to data as well? I assume so... but I just want to make sure.
Generally, most people, I guess, go from 5.3 ML4 Directly to TL 7. So they may never run into this issue.
For the rest of us, here is the resolution of my problem in going from ML6 to TL7.
Apparently with the change from ML to TL IBM added a "BuildDate Verification" routine into... (1 Reply)
Hello,
I'm having problem with an iptables rule. It seems that on one of two systems on the nat table, the INPUT chain doesn't exist for some strange reason.
I get the error below:
# iptables -t nat -A INPUT -j ACCEPT
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.
Here is my kernel on... (0 Replies)

iptables-apply
IPTABLES-APPLY(8) iptables 1.6.1 IPTABLES-APPLY(8)NAME
iptables-apply - a safer way to update iptables remotely
SYNOPSIS
iptables-apply [-hV] [-t timeout] [-w savefile] {[rulesfile]|-c [runcmd]}
DESCRIPTION
iptables-apply will try to apply a new rulesfile (as output by iptables-save, read by iptables-restore) or run a command to configure
iptables and then prompt the user whether the changes are okay. If the new iptables rules cut the existing connection, the user will not be
able to answer affirmatively. In this case, the script rolls back to the previous working iptables rules after the timeout expires.
Successfully applied rules can also be written to savefile and later used to roll back to this state. This can be used to implement a store
last good configuration mechanism when experimenting with an iptables setup script: iptables-apply -w /etc/network/iptables.up.rules -c
/etc/network/iptables.up.run
When called as ip6tables-apply, the script will use ip6tables-save/-restore and IPv6 default values instead. Default value for rulesfile is
'/etc/network/iptables.up.rules'.
OPTIONS -t seconds, --timeout seconds
Sets the timeout in seconds after which the script will roll back to the previous ruleset (default: 10).
-w savefile, --write savefile
Specify the savefile where successfully applied rules will be written to (default if empty string is given:
/etc/network/iptables.up.rules).
-c runcmd, --command runcmd
Run command runcmd to configure iptables instead of applying a rulesfile (default: /etc/network/iptables.up.run).
-h, --help
Display usage information.
-V, --version
Display version information.
