Default gateway lost after netif restart

[Oliver Pinter]

Hi!

Try to use screen or tmux. ;)

screen
service netif restart; service routing restart

or when you must restart only one interface, then try this command:
service netif restart _if_name_ e.g.: service netif restart em0 when
you have intel network card.
