You can create a script and add it to cron job.

Location is /etc/cron.daily

which command is stopping or starting outgoing firewall?

I never tried to disable firewall from console. But what i can suggest is you can log in to console check the system logs under /var/log/messages (most probably) and while monitoring logs turn off firewall from GUI and the command will show up in logs. Or you can also monitor logs from GUI under logs tab and then system.

hi,
if anyone wondering about this question; i have used iptables-save and restore commands to save and restore firewall rules. then created a script in crond.hourly folder to check minutes and run restore command before and after noon.
