Unless you can provide an example. Hello Gabe, You could use monit (http://mmonit.com/monit/) for example to monitor the default gateway with a ping and if it fails to exec a specific script in which you set up routes, send email and such and of course to (re)set the default stuff when the (default) connection is back online. There might be other tools designed especially for this so the others can point you in a better direction. a great day, v > > > /gabe > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
