This applies to almost any script inside init.d, including /etc/init.d/networking: ./networking restart Does a "./networking stop" followed by a "./networking start". Effectively reinitializes the networking subsystem after configuration changes have been made. Nice because (unlike windoze) you can reconfigure and "reboot" almost any part of the operating system without having to reboot the whole computer. ./networking reload Sends some kind of a signal to the networking subsystem telling to it reload it's configuration files as if it had just been started. Same effect as "./networking restart" but generally faster and cleaner. Not available for all scripts in init.d, but works for most. Shawn Yarbrough [EMAIL PROTECTED]
