Comment 15 for bug 1072518

How does networking -stop differ from killing dbus? If for the sake of
argument I wanted to stop dbus without sigkilling it, how would I do that?
And how would I bring down all of my ifaces at the same time without
writing another script, which would bring them down sequentially at best?
This last one is in the scenario that I have a box set up as a router or
load balancer.
