problem with sh /etc/init.d/networking restart

[gokul_ifs]

Hi friends

I am using ubuntu linux and the problem is when restarting the networking service....

I have pasted the output of the sh /etc/init.d/networking restart command below.

I tried sh /etc/init.d/sendmail restart and sh /etc/init.d/sendmail reload. But the problem still exists.

Pls help me to solve this issue.

you do not need the sh but from root prompt # /etc/init.d/network restart
this will restart the network without issue.
