what are the commands for #2?Originally Posted by _Pete_
i can get to single user mode with sudo /etc/init.d/single start but i can't figure out how to get back to normal mode ...
also the ipw2200 card does have to be reloaded sometimes (this is a nasty bug that they've been trying to fix for a long time now .. sooner or later it will be gone).
to do this i wrote a simple shell script
sudo rmmod ipw2200
sudo modprobe ipw2200
sudo ifdown eth0
sudo rm /etc/network/interfaces
sudo ln -s /etc/network/interfaces.home /etc/network/interfaces
sudo ifup eth0
that just reloads the module, takes down the interface, and i use different /etc/network/interfaces.* files for the different network enviorments i'm in (have one for home, one for work etc etc) and the third and fourth command remove the symbolic link and link whatever interface file i need at the time. then it brings the interface back up of course.
writing different etc/network/interface files and having different versions of a script like that is the easiest way i've found to manage wireless networks. i can just type home or work or class and the network works great.

sudo init 1Originally Posted by jerome bettis
sudo init 2
to switch to runlevel 1 and 2 respectively
Actually you don't need to use sudo when going back to runlevel 2 'cause in singleuser you're actually in the root account.Originally Posted by Tobi Vollebregt
Hi All,
I'm working on a ubuntu hoary 5.04, installed as server only, via ssh command line, with no gui available, on a remote machine, that I don't want to bug the locals to reboot.
3 Questions, if I may:
1) does one _permanently_ set the default route by adding a gateway line to the /etc/networking/interfaces file? ("sudo ip route add default via" wasn't permanent after reboot, ugh, and so my ssh access from the outside external network no longer worked...)
2) /etc/init.d/networking restart drops my remote connection and doesn't bring the interfaces back up (so I have to ask the locals to reboot because I could no longer diagnose the problem). What would cause the connection to permanently drop? Could it be not having a gateway line in the interfaces file? Is there something else wrong with "network restart" in hoary? I'm I missing something else?
3) Is there a lighter way to simply "reload" the interfaces file besides "networking restart"? Would something like "if-down && if-up" be lighter and do the job (remember, I'm working through a remote ssh terminal).
Thanks!
Pete
How do you do that?Originally Posted by _Pete_

I've never quite figured this one out, but I don't get disconnected from a server when issuing the network restart command (while connected through telnet or ssh). You would think you'd get disconnected... ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0 should do the trick as well.Originally Posted by PeteJ
Also, I find myself using the networking gui front-end every day a couple of times (when coming and going from work/home). You get to it through this command:
network-admin
You are able to bring your network devices up/down, and change their configuration easily (almost as easily as editing the needed /etc/network/interfaces config file).
EDIT: Speaking of the init comman mentioned above, I've always used that to change the runlevel, but recently I've read about the telinit command. I've heard that it's better to use telinit, but I can't seem to find a difference between the two commands. Anyone have a clue?
