Re: Network interface restart

Hi,

Could someone please point out where I made the mistake?

When your network interface went down, you lost the connection, your
shell lost the terminal and your script was terminated before it
could finish doing what it was supposed to. Possibly you need to use
something like "nohup" or "screen" (from ports), or have some other
form of terminal available.

Thanks for your answer.

But as I said, I ran the script from a screen session, so that makes me wonder
why the execution was aborted.

But is running '/etc/rc.d/netif restart'' known to cause problems? I think I
shouldn't have to use scripts like these just to change a setting on the
network interface.

Kind regards,
