restarting networking daemons without restarting

About the only thing that does bring down OSX with some frequency is flaky network situations such as using airport on the fringes of a network where you are constantly getting and then losing your DHCP lease. At some point the networking layer gets corrupt or shuts down and you are left with no networking ability at all. A restart fixes this but hey, this is unix!



surely someone has written a little shell script to kill and then restart all of the various daemons that make up the networking layer of OSX. Care to share?

    I could figure it out, but I am at work now.

    Look in:

    /System/Library/StartupItems/Network

    hmmm... system/Library/StartupItems/ does not have a network subdirectory on my standard OSX 10.0.1.5 install



    a quick search on google did turn up this link:

    unfortuantely the script did not work on my machine - perhaps it was written for X 10.0?
