I wrote this script for collecting ping statistic (after I email to a group
the stat file).

1. how can I run this at startup

2. how can I restart this script after 3600 counts down


For 1 and 2, 'man cron', 'man crontab'

3. Is there a program, script or any way more appropriate to track the
packet loss and ping availability.?

You may write your own script which parses the output of ping using grep/awk/...
