I would write a simple script "ipoff NN" which takes the same
arguments as iptables (after NN), converts -I and -A to -D, etc, and
sleeps NN minutes before doing the cancel.
Then, after running the command that sets up the rule, I would just
arrow up and change iptables to ipoff NN.
That would be *very usable*, IMHO.
(I most definitely would not use cron or at, since those tools do not
naturally match the problem at all.)

Thanks Ivan, I was hoping to be able to do this directly using a rule
without writing a script / using cron but looks like that's what I'm
going
to have to do.

I'm not sure if that can be done with the netfilter itself.
You could always get a script into crontab to check if the rule is
matched (iptables ... -L -n -v will show you number of packets
matched
by the rule) and set up some sort of a timer.

Hi,
Not sure if this is possible. I wish to create a rule that once
created will
automatically expire (and be removed) after say 10 minutes.
Please
Many thanks,
Colin.
