[ale] How do you restart the network on Ubuntu

[Jim Kinney]

>From what's left of my memory, "service" was the preferred way for IRIX and
it was copied/borrowed by RedHat a long time back (when SGI was early in the
opensourcing of XFS). The /sbin/service command is a bash script that sets a
pile of environment settings to be just like during bootup. Thus it's the
"preferred" method but not required.

I'm often forgetting the full name(d) of the service as I spent too long
with tab completion so using service is 50/50 for me.

Hmm. wonder if I can _add_ tab completion to the service script....

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
