When possible, use the STANDARD form:

	#!/bin/sh

Declare #!/usr/local/bin/bash only if you're intentionally
using BASH specifig functionalities that SH doesn't include.
May save you lots of headache.

You can use ipfw's rc.d script:

	# /etc/rc.d/ipfw start

	# /etc/rc.d/ipfw stop

	# /etc/rc.d/ipfw restart


Just a small note, but I hope it will help you.
