FWIW, here's what I'm running from cron every five minutes:
#!/bin/sh
ping -n -c 1 -t 2 10.0.1.249 2>&1 > /dev/null
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
NETMASK=`ifconfig tun0 | grep -c netmask`
if [ $NETMASK -eq 0 ]
then
echo "TUN0 is not healthy. starting VPN again."
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/pptp.sh start
else
# echo "TUN0 looks healthy"
fi
else
# echo "link is OK"
fi
