Its a difficult question. Inotify is not really something that gives expected behaviours. Usually users want an explicit action to apply config changes. using the init.d reload command is something well known to debian/ubuntu admins so that sounds like the right approavh to me.
Later when we have proper ifupdown command replacements to do the full transition we might reconsider this, but then updates done through inotify shouldnt automatically cause a reconnect, but only get applied next time a device is upped. (similar to the user experience when editing interfaces and running ifupdown). -- [intrepid] network manager does not stop nm-system-settings when stopped https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293751 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
