I'll second this; from a gw of mine:

$ sudo crontab -l | grep ral0
# Down and up ral0 on failure
*       *       *       *       *       ifconfig ral0 | grep -q OACTIVE && { 
ifconfig \
ral0; echo "\n *****\n"; ifconfig ral0 down; sleep 1; ifconfig ral0 up; 
ifconfig \
ral0; }

Hi Alexander,

  What does the 'OACTIVE' mean? I put that crontab entry in and about 5 times 
already
it came up with OACTIVE in the ifconfig output and it downed the interface and 
brought it back up.
So far the machine has stayed up and hasn't locked up solid yet. Is downing the 
interface and bringing
it back up when it's 'OACTIVE' help prevent the box from locking up?

 Regards,
 Tom
