Looks like netplug will do the trick! Thanks so much!
sudo apt-get install netplug
cat /etc/netplug/netplugd.conf
eth*
cat /etc/netplug/netplug
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
export PATH
dev="$1"
action="$2"
case "$action" in
in)
echo "$dev : $action : plugged in" >> /tmp/netplug.log
;;
out)
echo "$dev : $action : unplugged" >> /tmp/netplug.log
;;
probe)
echo "$dev : $action : probed" >> /tmp/netplug.log
;;
*)
echo "$dev : $action : I feel violated" >> /tmp/netplug.log
exit 1
;;
esac
/etc/init.d/netplug stop
/etc/init.d/netplug start
cat /tmp/netplug.log
