restarting the network

[Dale]

Don't know how many of you are running SuSE or are
familar with it. And not sure if any of the other
distros work like this.
But in SuSE 7.3 I was able to change my ip's and
gateway to access a different network and restart the
network with the following commands.
rcnetwork restart
rcroute restart

or /etc/init.d/network restart
/etc/init.d/route restart

How ever I have discovered that in SuSE 8.0 they have
changed this a little bit, which is causeing me to
wonder.
rcnetwork restart still works.. and will succesfully
restart the network interface. However the rcroute
command is no longer avilable.  I have only been able
to completely restart the network and routing by
switching to init 1 and back to init 3 or completly
rebooting the system.

Question is does anyone else know a way to restart the
route without going through all these hoops?
