There are some alias examples here, FWIW: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/tests/network-scripts And all that's really required is "nmcli con reload", you shouldn't ever need to restart NetworkManager to get config changes taken into account.
