Restart Network on Startup

For some reason my Ubuntu Server requires me to run /etc/init.d/networking restart each time I turn it on. I'm not sure why, but it does.

I have the following shell script called network.sh

Code:

#/bin/bash
#Shell script to restart network dameon on computer start

echo "restarting network daemon"

/etc/init.d/networking restart

First - is this okay? Will it work?
Second - How do I make this automatically run on startup?

 

Hi,
don't know what your prob is - can even be some active part after server (switch, router ...) loose cable, bad netmask ...lots reasons.
Anyway, if you want to do this - restart network after server is up - you need to make your own '/etc/init.d' script. Its a bit lengthy explanation, so you better google it. Or you can add the script, or things you want to run at the end of boot process to rc.local file.
How to do that is e.g. here:

OR....he could just add this to /etc/rc.local

Code:

/etc/init.d/networking restart

 

Yeah, that's right, but as i understand it (dunno, since i don't use it - just read it somewhere..), *buntu doesn't have this file - that's why I posted the link there about rc.local howto

 

Xubuntu 10.04 has an /etc/rc.local file. As a Debian user, I sometimes install Ubuntu on a Qemu virtual machine just to remind myself that it is still Debian underneath the covers.
