You can setup a ifstated loop, there are examples on the net and in ifstated.conf Or If immediate action isn't required or wanted after an unknown event, you could just use. ifconfig fxp0 || do something (e.g. ifconfig fxp0 create or /bin/sh netstart) ifconfig fxp0 && do something/nothing ifconfig fxp0 | grep UP && do something/nothing ifconfig fxp0 | grep UP || do something (e.g ifconfig fxp0 up)
