By the way, there is already similar monitoring functionality. You can enable it using "Configure network checks". Basicly it tries to ping various hosts, and if it fails, reboots the unit. However you can change the script according to your need. The script is in /usr/sbin/checkping and changes to it will be saved during standard backup procedure.

On another subject.... from time to time one of the radio cards stops responding resulting in an error msg that fills the /var/log/messages filethe error msg contains: "kernel: netcs1: prism2_interrupt: hw not ready; skipping events 0x0000" This only happens with a card in AP mode and only when I am using both pcmcia slots ( 2-slot soekris boards ) I wrote a monitoring script that checks the /var/log/messages file once per minute for this error msg "prism2_interrupt: hw not ready; skipping events" and does the following if it is found cardctl suspend sleep 1 cardctl resume sleep 1 sleep 10 echo . > /var/log/messages this last line clears the log file so this monitoring script does not go into a loop. This power-cycles the radio cards and everything starts working again. This without having to reboot the unit. J.
