This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Hi
If I write:
sh filepath1.sh start
at the beginning of file12 (with filepath2)
that the file1.sh (filepath1) was created before
whats the meaning of this?
Excuse me, but it is slightly hard to understand your problem's description. Let's do this way:
1. Tell us, please, what do you have: show here contents of your scripts and their current output.
2. Then, tell us what do you need, that is, what output your scripts must produce.
yeah, we do not intend to seem unhelpful, but if you can explain a little more fully the problem you are experiencing, people will better understand how to help you. I tried to read and understand the content of you post, but it was difficult and a little frustrating, because we really do want to help you.
/etc/ppp/ip-up.local is used to place miscelannious user commands for PPP connection. When you make a new connection, it is not bad idea to start firewall (or update its state) by running firestarter.sh.
If the problem can be restated as:-
"I have one file 'firestarter.sh' and I've been looking for a second file 'firestarter.sh start' but I can't find it."
Then:-
There isn't a second file; 'start' is the $1 parameter for the 'firestarter.sh' script, it's telling the script which job to do, it's not part of the filename.
$1 is tested to see if it equals 'start' in the case statement near the end of 'firestarter.sh'
