Restart scripts for system services

I haven't seen this posted anywhere, but Apple has included several scripts to nicely restart various services (as opposed to using ps and manually kill HUPing the daemons)

They are located in this directory:

/System/Library/SystemConfiguration/Kicker.bundle/Resources/
The scripts are:
restart-AppleTalk
restart-automount
set-hostname
restart-NetInfo
restart-lookupd
The names are self explanatory. Run them as root. Quite useful if you are doing work remotely.
