Using Slack 9.1

I run MonMonthra "by hand" at the command line.

Is there a way to "undo" MonMonthra after running it? Or is rebooting the only
way to get rid of the settings.

Thanks,

Al

If monmotha is just a iptables frontend, then running su -c 'iptables
-F' will flush all the iptables rules it (and anything else) has
created. (You can run 'iptables -L' before and after to see that the
rules have cleared.)

Also, you may want to check to see if monmotha stays as a background
process after it is run. You check this by running, for example, 'top'
or 'ps aux | grep monmotha'. You can use killall to stop the process.
E.G: 'killall $(pgrep monmotha)'

Thanks for this. One of the hardest things for a noob to learn is that in
Linux just about anything that IS done can be UNDONE without a reboot. After
many years with Win you get indoctrinated into the idea that the only way to
"clean house" is to reboot.
