Are you running Shorewall as a system service?Under Debian I ran once: systemctl enable shorewall Shorewall then starts at boot, and can be managed as a service. To check status: systemctl status shorewall You also have a range of other commands, e.g.: systemctl stop shorewall systemctl start shorewall
As shorewall is _not_ a process but rather a tool to build and install iptables settings (among others) you could as well use shorewall show to inspect the various chains that are created and the respective actions.
I would not know why you need to restart shorewall often as it is not a process which needs to run permanently. The only reason I can think of to restart shorewall is a modification in the shorewall configuration.
