Script on your firewall or management server

You can put your own script in Checkpoint Firewall or Management with SPLAT. If you need just a specific info from SPLAT continuously, that can be reached with a simple command you can implement it in SPLAT with a bash script.

1. To start your script on boot you have to put it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local. See the output of the file:

[Expert@myfirewall]# cat /etc/rc.d/rc.local
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you do not
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local

if [ -f /opt/CPshared/5.0/tmp/.CPprofile.sh ]; then
# Register log rotation process
 . /opt/CPshared/5.0/tmp/.CPprofile.sh
cpd_sched_config add RotateLogs -c /sbin/cp_logrotate -e 100 -s
fi

if [ -f /etc/rc.d/rc.local.user ]; then
 . /etc/rc.d/rc.local.user
fi
< --insert_the_lines_here-- >

There is an SK for that with a live example for Cluster: sk35780

2. To monitor your own script, maybe you can use cpwd_admin.

cpwd_admin – cpwd (also known as WatchDog) is a process that invokes and monitors critical processes
such as Check Point daemons on the local machine, and attempts to restart them if they fail. Among the
processes monitored by Watchdog are cpd, fwd, fwm.

Usage
cpwd_admin start -name -path -command
Example:
cpwd_admin start -name FWM -path “$FWDIR/bin/fwm” -command “fwm”

Example output from an SMS (Security Management Server):

[Expert@mymgmt]# cpwd_admin list
