Nowhere in any of that did I suggest that you create your own script.  What I 
described was the configuration files that are used by the mechanisms that 
the distributions themselves have created in order to allow us to have 
persistent network configurations.  There's lots more capabilities that are 
available through those mechanisms as well, but I didn't get into that.

Both Red Hat and SUSE install their /etc/init.d/network SysV Init scripts by 
default.  Both use their ifup commands (which happen to be shell scripts) to 
bring up network interfaces.

BTW, both Red Hat's and SUSE's ifup scripts use "ip" to do the networking 
configurations.

I'm not trying to create a debate either, I'm merely pointing out the actual 
facts of how these distributions have already solved the question of 
persistent networking configuration.
