All this script does is determine your default gateway, and try to ping
it. Even if your gateway changed regularly it would still work. If you
want to ping a particular ip(example 1) you could modify the script to
do so, or if your server uses dyndns you could just ping the server name
(example2).
Example 1
#!/bin/sh
ping -c1 123.456.789.1
if [ "$?" != "0" ] ; then
/etc/rc.d/netaddress.down
/etc/rc.d/netaddress.up
fi
Example2
#!/bin/sh
ping -c1 myserver.domain.com
if [ "$?" != "0" ] ; then
/etc/rc.d/netaddress.down
/etc/rc.d/netaddress.up
fi
