I'm running RHEL 6.4 64Bit

Configured a static interface but on service network start I get the following error

./network-functions: line 144: is_false: command not found
./network-functions: line 144: is_false: command not found
./network-functions: line 144: is_false: command not found

Below is the lines from /etc/sysconfig/network-functions


143 fi
144 ! is_false $NM_CONTROLLED && is nm_running && USE_NM=true
145 if [ -z "$UUID" -a "$USE_NM" = "true" ]; then
146 UUID=$(get_uuid_by_config $CONFIG)
147 fi

Have you added that line yourself (144) ....

The rest of lines other than line 144 represent a sheel script.

And as per error There is no cmd is_false in shell

line 144 is part of the network-functions under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions.

To answer your question I did not edit the file at all.

What I found out is that NM_CONTROLLED is read from the interface configuration.By setting NM_CONTROLLED=no fixed the problem.And also did a chkconfig off on NetworkManager.
