Restart network

Niphargus · 09-13-2002, 10:16 AM

Is nobody know if there is no problem with a remote command for restart the network of my machine after making change in
/etc/sysctl.conf file ?
The commnand : /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
I'm afraid to loose connection with this command.
Sorry for my bad english
Thanks

why would you need to restart the network if you change the sysctl.conf (kernel parameters) ?

just use

Code:

sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf

net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route = 0
