Warning
Removing or modifying any scripts in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
directory can cause interface connections to act irregularly or fail. Only advanced users
should modify scripts related to a network interface.
The easiest way to manipulate all network scripts simultaneously is to use the /sbin/service
command on the network service (/etc/rc.d/init.d/network), as illustrated the following
command:
/sbin/service network <action>
