Automatic interface down

[Evil I_Am]

I am trying it,but i still have problems. Here is my ifstated.conf:

init-state up
loglevel debug

link_down = "em0.link.down"
link_up = "em0.link.up"

net = '( "ping -q -c 1 -t 1 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX > /dev/null" every 10 && \
    "ping -q -c 1 -t 1 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX > /dev/null" every 10)'

state auto {
        if $link_up {
                set-state up
        }
        if $link_down {
                set-state down
        }
}

state up {
        init {
                run "ifconfig em0 up"
        }
}

state down {
        init {
                run "ifconfig em0 down"
        }
}

(of course i put the real IPs in the file :) )but running ifstated -nv i 
obtain:

/usr/local/etc/ifstated.conf:1: syntax error
link_down = "em0.link.down"
link_up = "em0.link.up"
net = "( "ping -q -c 1 -t 1 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX > /dev/null" every 10 &&  "ping 
-q -c 1 -t 1 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX > /dev/null" every 10)"
/usr/local/etc/ifstated.conf:14: syntax error
/usr/local/etc/ifstated.conf:17: syntax error
/usr/local/etc/ifstated.conf:23: syntax error
/usr/local/etc/ifstated.conf:26: syntax error
/usr/local/etc/ifstated.conf:31: syntax error
/usr/local/etc/ifstated.conf:34: syntax error

I checked against the provided sample file and everything looks ok to me; 
have someone some suggestion on how to make ifstated work or on some better 
mechanins to use?

Thx
Ivan
