restarting natd

[Doron Shmaryahu]

You could use a basic shell script like this

#!/bin/sh
killall -9 natd
/sbin/natd -u -s -m -a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx


don't forget to run it with a & at the end so it runs in the background this
way you don't get disconnected if you are doing it remotely

If you are connecting remotely, when you kill natd, you will lose your 
shell and not be able to restart natd from where you are.  Even if the 
subway has gone back from $2.00 to $1.50, on-site visits take time.  :-)
