$restartNetworkingCommand

Update this variable with the path to your network daemon along with any parameters needed to restart it.

It's amazing how fast this repository has grown, I had never expected a single link on Hacker News would have caused that! I love it.

I'd really love if anyone wanted to follow some of my other repositories, including jolt or dbmigrator. I think both are promising projects and I know I could use some help on them.

Thanks!
