To All, Are there any tools or utilities that I can use to detect when a network connection has been lost? I need a way to determine the loss of a network connection so I can kick off a script that will reconfigure an IP alias to another NIC and change some IPFW rules if my main NIC goes down (or the switch it connects to dies). Has anyone already created a tool that will do this? This solution would have to be light on system resources since it would need to run every couple seconds (at a maximum).
