dpinger keeps stopping

[cpw]

Is dpinger supposed to keep going into the "stopped" state?

It seems that quite frequently, dpinger has stopped working, and i need to manually restart it. This is obviously making it hard to get a reliable failover.

I have dpinger monitoring two ISP connections, one normal, one PPPoE. There is a third dpinger monitoring an upstream ipv6. They all seem to randomly go into the "stopped" state, and thus don't actually trigger gateway failover/failback actions. The stopped state seems to correlate with a short "low availability" blip on the respective connection. Perhaps the interface is glitching, and dpinger is subsequently crashing?

Is there any advice to improve the reliability here? Perhaps adding a monit script to kick the services up again?

Thoughts?
Thanks
