Wrapper functions like SuSEFirewall2
Hey everyone, I have a question. I'm administering a linux machine that runs openSuSE. A few of the functions that I'd normally do manually, have programs that take over the task. For example, I wanted to add a few rules to my iptables. I then found out that there is an openSuse tool (SuSEfirewall2). Another exists for DNS configuration. Is using these tools mandatory?

I tried making the iptables changes the normal way by editing the file, but it didn't seem to work. Once I did the same changes with SuSEFirewall2, it seemed to work. I'm not sure if me using the suse firewall is what helped though.

So my question is, in linux in general, when there is a 'wrapper' tool like these, that edit the files for us, are we obligated to use them or can we by pass the function and do it manually?

Did the act of me using the openSusefirewall2 tool cause it to add something that I couldn't have by manually editing the iptables file?

NAME

       wrapper - Jar daemon wrapper

USAGE

	 wrapper <command> <configuration file> [configuration properties] [...]
	 wrapper <configuration file> [configuration properties] [...]
	    (<command> implicitly '-c')
	 wrapper <command>
	    (<configuration file> implicitly 'wrapper.conf')

	 of the Wrapper executable.

JAVA WRAPPER SERVICE DESCRIPTION

	The Java Service Wrapper makes very easy to install a Java Application as a
	daemon process on Unix systems. The Wrapper monitors a JVM (Java Virtual
	Machine) process and automatically restarts it if it that the JVM has crashed
	or hung. This process takes just a few seconds once the Wrapper has decided
	there is a problem. It also gives the ability to handle process priority.
