Network Manager 0.6.6 (in eg Ubuntu 8.04) monitors the /etc/network/interfaces for changes and acts upon them as soon as the file is modified.
This can be seen as a good feature in certain ways, but had two significant drawbacks I find: - in Linux/unix philosiphy (thus expected usage), editing configuration files can be safely done (multiple times) until some subsystem is restarted/notified - if you're logged in, and (eg) /home is NFS-mounted, you get a consequent system hang Is there a strong case for this behaviour, or something else that depends on this?
