You can't.  The connection state is going to get reset.  You can, 
however, run the service commands in a screen or tmux session to prevent 
the connection reset from disrupting the shell running the service commands.

You should also add ";service sshd restart" to the end of the command to 
make sure sshd comes back up if died when networking bounced.
