That's what I do. It's more precise. Restarting all of networking for a single
interface change seems like using a slegde hammer.

Oops, I was talking about Neil's idea. But I think I got the solution
here. As I list all the interfaces that are about to change, I will just
call ifup/ifdown for each

In general it's done on an interface by interface basis. The commands ifdown
and ifup are almost always used rather than /etc/init.d/networking. The init
script itself just calls ifdown -a or ifup -a anyway. Debian never expects all
interfaces to be altered in one shot unless you're on the conso
I thought the important take away was networking should be stopped before
changing the interface settings. And started only after the edit was complete.
Restart just runs stop start iirc, but it does them back to back no time for
the edit in-between.

The sure way to restart networking in Debian is /etc/init.d/networking stop;
/etc/init.d/networking start I do not know why that is
What is the recommended way of restarting networking after making changes in
Debian? That is the command you should execute then, instead of
"/etc/init.d/networking restart".
I haven't used Debian in a while, but I can't believe you are expected to stop
network services before making any change

I know what you want. If the interfaces file is too different after the change
the restart may not remove unwanted interfaces. I sugg

The problem is that Debian wants to avoid the use of
`/etc/init.d/networking restart`
