Have a look here: http://shorewall.net/shorewall_extension_scripts.htm

start -- invoked after the firewall has been started or restarted.

started -- invoked after the firewall has been marked as 'running'.

Also, if you look at /etc/shorewall/started, it says this:

# /etc/shorewall/started
#
#       Add commands below that you want to be executed after shorewall has
#       been completely started or restarted. The difference between this
#       extension script and /etc/shorewall/start is that this one is invoked
#       after delayed loading of the blacklist (DELAYBLACKLISTLOAD=Yes) and
#       after the 'shorewall' chain has been created (thus signaling that the
#       firewall is completely up.
#
#       This script should not change the firewall configuration directly but
#       may do so indirectly by running /sbin/shorewall with the 'nolock'
#       option.
#
# See http://shorewall.net/shorewall_extension_scripts.htm for additional
# information.
