Hi all! I've been calling a script based on tcptraceroute every few minutes to monitor interfaces. It is not reliable, because it only checks the next few hops, which may turn out to be disconnected, and then I should run it more often. Would someone please suggest a pointer to a better tool? The idea is to log fault start/end, issue ip route replace default adequately, and keep track of current status. Google tells me nagios and similar packages, but they seem to me to be overkill. I'd write my own utility, possibly hacking tcptraceroute source, but perhaps someone did it already...
