Why such statement is needed at all? It's all in the source. /etc/init.d/networking says that: a) 'restart' option does: ifdown -a --exclude=lo ifup -a --exclude=lo plus some arcane trickery for interfaces defined as 'allow-hotplug' b) 'stop' option does: ifdown -a --exclude=lo c) 'start' option does: recreate /run/network/ifstate, if needed ifup -a --exclude=lo plus some arcane trickery for interfaces defined as 'allow-hotplug' Reco
