Thanks for your answer.

But as I said, I ran the script from a screen session, so that makes me wonder 
why the execution was aborted.

But is running '/etc/rc.d/netif restart'' known to cause problems? I think I 
shouldn't have to use scripts like these just to change a setting on the 
network interface.

Kind regards,
