Script to run on DHCPNAK

[Bill Shirley]

You might look into Simple Event Correlator (SEC) https://simple-evcorr.github.io/

It can monitor your log files and trigger events.  It's an rpm on Fedora; don't know about
other distros.  There's a mailling list and Risto, the author, is always responsive.
