firewall-applet (1)

firewall-applet [OPTIONS...]

firewall-applet is a tray applet for firewalld.

firewall-applet does not support any special options. The only options that can be used are the general options that Gtk uses for Gtk application initialization. For more information on these options, please have a look at the runtime documentation for Gtk.

The following options are supported:

-h, --help

Prints a short help text and exists.

firewall-applet has additional settings to adapt the look and feel. The used backend depends on the distribution and can be either dconf or GConf. The path to the settings is org.fedoraproject.FirewallApplet. You can use dconf-editor or gconf-editor to see and modify them.

The following settings are supported:

This setting defaults to false.
