hi,all

 I am wondering about the usage of ". ifcfg-eth0" since ifcfg-eth0 is
not an execuatable. Can anyone tell me?

Best regards

. file
is a built-in shell command.  It executes the commands
in file in the current shell, no sub-shell is spawned.
Since no sub-shell is spawned, variable settings stay in effect.
file is found along $PATH and does not have to be executable.
Cheers,
T.mike
