comment How do you configure the MTU for all network adapters via a script?
Because it's going to be part of an installer script that will be used on many machines.

@itsbruce, ah thanks for the clarification regarding your changes being non-persistent. I updated and further clarified the "persistent" aspect of the question.

does ip* set mtu 4096* require a service network restart for changes to take effect?

comment How do you configure the MTU for all network adapters via a script?
I was thinking to myself: 1. list all the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* files 2. iterate over the list 3. add a new line for each config file MTU=4096 4. optionally do a service network restart

@angus, yep your new revision achieves the same thing my edits do and is a little cleaner than mine! good job. i'm gonna chalk that up to my inexperience of shell scripting =).

@angus, dash, in this context, is ubuntu's default shell? that is why your script specifies /bin/sh instead of /bin/bash?

comment How do you colorize only some keywords for a bash script?
@angus, when I specify -b white the background color is actually gray instead of white. I think that is a function of my shell/OS/terminal... bash/fedora15/gnome-terminal is what I am using.

@angus, there is a problem with the script that does need to be fixed. when you omit the -b option it defaults to "black" background --> this should be fixed to be "no background is specified" instead of specifying a background color always (having a default background color of black would be good for when the user has a black background but would be bad for when the user has a white background).
