Vincent,

This is a bit off-topic, but there is software called Nagios, written
in Perl, that does network (service-level) monitoring.  It can follow
user-defined actions when a host/network/service goes up and/or down.
It would appear that 1.0 was released, recently.  I have used it for a
couple years now, mostly when it was NetSaint and even the earlier
versions were very good at this type of thing.

I hope that helps.
