VP> Hello everybody.

 VP> Is there some program for linux that can monitor a network link
 VP> (preferably by both checking the link status and pingin some
 VP> preset adresses) and run some script if the link seems down

 JB> such could be written in a few lines of bash script etc...

 JB> ifconfig can give a report on the link status

you could also use 

'mii-tool | grep "no link"'

If it returns something the link is down.

Bo
