Script to check the status of ipsec tunnels and refresh them if they're down. This should be run from cron every minute. To add monitoring on a tunnel, add a commented-out `monitor` line with the IP and port to use for establishing connection status. eg. `#monitor 172.17.105.80 9898` Adapted from a script posted by user "c b" on Strongswan [issu…
