An iptables command error: [root@appliance(appliance.chassis.local) ~]# iptables -L Another app is currently holding the xtables lock. Perhaps you want to use the -w option?
The iptables can get disturbed. User may not be able to view the iptables.
When a parallel iptables query is happening, this error displays.
During iptables listing, it uses DNS and reverse DNS lookup if "-n" option is not used, which will make iptables hold the lock for longer durations.
Added "-n" option in all places where iptables listing is happening.
