re: rules string not accepting filename other than Standard.W

The format for the arguments to fw1rules is GNU style, meaning that
multi-character switches require two hyphens instead of one.  I also
suggest that you use the merge_SP3 option to include your
rulebases_5_0.fws file.  So your command should be...

fw1rules.pl \
   --rules=a-cok-workremote-lexi-us-20041022-1va.W \
   --merge_SP3=rulebases_5_0.fws \
   --objects=objects_5_0.C  \
   --output_html=workremote.html

I apologize in advance if this has been discussed in the past, but could not
find a resolution.  I have a single NG-AI mgmt console that manages 10
firewalls.  So I downloaded the 10 *.W files with the objects_5_0.C files.
When I ran the fw1rules.pl script with the original name of the *.W, I did
not get any errors, but I also did not get the HTML output.  Here is the
command I use:

fw1rules.pl -rules=a-cok-workremote-lexi-us-20041022-1va.W
-objects=objects_5_0.C output_html=workremote.html

 However, when I rename the rule above to Standard.W, I get the HTML output.
I want to automate the process via crontab, but having to change all 10
rulebase to Standard.W may get a little messy...

Thanks for the help...

Vincent
