I agree that ifup/ifdown is more specific and preferable. However, in this situation it's a script that arranges networking for Openpanel (www.openpanel.com). Also, 'restart networking' would make sense if it actually did restart it, and not only start interfaces. And, last but not least. It's Ubuntu's decision to implement upstart, please do that the right way without introducing regressions.
Wishlist is ok, for now. I guess. But it would be nice if this was fixed in the new upcoming LTS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/890189 Title: `restart networking` does not deconfigure an interface To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/890189/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
