??? If I have a Workstation, then it is no problem, because I can use the forced restart option. But I have a Router and the forced restart give me the new IP-Adress, but my IP-Forwarding rules do not work. So I must reboot the entired system.

This does not work because the IP-Forwarding rules and the variables. I must detect, that I have no IP-Adress anymore. If there is a tool like Ping (which is called be cron or anything else) but which give me an output (if the ping to a specified server fails = e.g. 195.132.0.193=DHCP-Server de CyberCâble), which I can use to reboot the Router it will be nice.
