What is the recommended way of restarting network services after, say,

service networking restart doesn't seem to do the job properly.


Thanks, everybody for your very helpful replies ;)

It is quite correct that the "deprecated" message has appeared since long before systemd. It is also true to say that this message no longer appears in Jessie. However, maybe I was a little terse in my request for assistance. So, for the pedants:

tony@tony-lx:~$ sudo service networking restart
[sudo] password for tony:
tony@tony-lx:~$

Then, from syslog

All good up to the last 3 lines, where it appears that eth1 has not been brought up. In fact, that's a lie; AFAICT interface eth1 is working fine.

So, there you have the background for my cry for help.
