Maybe use perl and do something like

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl 
open(PING, "ping -i 300 |");
while(<PING>) {
    if(m/"No route to host"/) {
        system("your_channel_closing script");
        system("your_channel_openning_script");
    }
}

If closing and rebonding the chanel takes more than five minutes you're going to get a false positive from the next ping response though, so be careful.
