Description: Link monitor daemon used to restart dead connections.
    This program sends ICMP ECHO packets to the address of your choice and then
    listens for ICMP REPLY packets.  If there's no response after the specified
    period it will retry repeatedly until the specified count is reached, after
    which it will execute the command specified. You can specify the period between
    pings and also the number of failed attempts to make before running the
    command.  The syslog 'facility' can be set to a numerical value.
    It doesn't daemonise - it is meant to be run from inittab.
    It has to be run with UID 0 (ie root privileges)
    Useful for DSL connections where IP addresses change.
