Hi

Here some short howto config systemd to run sysvinit firewall script:

1st copy your existing iptables script to

cp myfw /root/bin/myfw
chmod 750 /root/bin/myfw

Now lets create the systemd service as following:

vim /etc/systemd/system/myfw.service
[Unit]
Description=myfw
After=network.target

[Service]
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/root/bin/myfw start
ExecStop=/root/bin/myfw stop
User=root

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Enable the script for autostart at boot

systemctl enable myfw.service

Start the firewall

systemctl start myfw.service

Have fun!
