Another useful one to know about is /etc/init.d/networking. For example if you are using a wireless card connecting from one access point to another you will want to refresh the IP that the DHCP server gives you (Assuming you are setup for dynamic address allocation with DHCP). Then you would just run "/etc/init.d/networking restart" which would restart the networking. I often find this useful since running ifdown, ifconfig down, ifup, ifconfig up, takes a lot more typing and waiting and sometimes it just didn't work properly. Anyway the point is these scripts give you control over your daemons.
