Hey guys, no it's not the entire script and I needed many other keys. This was just the quickest and easiest way to show the problem area. I solved it by running tshark in the background, and had to output data to /tmp since I couldn't export the variable from the subshell back to the main process. As for the time gap I used 10 seconds on both read -t and timeout. I figure since the (timeout tshark) gets called and backgrounded right before keypress is called, it should work out pretty good.

iptables-apply
iptables-apply(8) System Manager's Manual iptables-apply(8)NAME
iptables-apply - a safer way to update iptables remotely
SYNOPSIS
iptables-apply [-hV] [-t timeout] ruleset-file
DESCRIPTION
iptables-apply will try to apply a new ruleset (as output by iptables-save/read by iptables-restore) to iptables, then prompt the user
whether the changes are okay. If the new ruleset cut the existing connection, the user will not be able to answer affirmatively. In this
case, the script rolls back to the previous ruleset after the timeout expired. The timeout can be set with -t.
When called as ip6tables-apply, the script will use ip6tables-save/-restore instead.
OPTIONS -t seconds, --timeout seconds
Sets the timeout after which the script will roll back to the previous ruleset.
-h, --help
Display usage information.
-V, --version
Display version information.
