Forgive me if this is a FAQ or has already been answered elsewhere. I read through a few man pages and searched the archives but didn't find anything related to my question.
I'm trying to provide a text-based user interface to a linux system wherein a user will enter IP address settings that need to be configured on the host. I later convert this data into NetworkManager-friendly format and write it directly to /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/eth0. For e.g I convert the user-input data for static IP settings into: [ipv4] method=manual addresses1=10.10.24.16/16,10.10.0.1 dns=10.12.0.254 On my jessie/sid debian, these settings take effect soon after I write the file. However, the same procedure doesn't work on Ubuntu 14.04.1. Is there an additional step (such as send SIGHUP to network-manager etc.) that is needed for NM to apply the settings? Is this method of directly editing the file under system-connections recommended/correct? If not, what is the best way of applying changes via the CLI?
