Open shell or terminal and type the command as follows:

You can this command on remote Ubuntu Linux server without any problem, but make sure you pass only restart option. This command also accepts start and stop options:

WARNING! These examples may stop remote networking service if executed. Always, use restart option over ssh session.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking start
$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop
