Ben,
If you upgrade to the latest NetView version, you may have an easy way to
do that. If I am not mistaken, the latest version has a command line way
of managing / unmanaging objects. If that is true, then you could do
this.
Down event --> calls your perl script ---> timer wait ---> unmanage object
---> manage object.
You can test it, but I think if you unmanage something that is down, then
go ahead and manage it, this generates a down event at that time. If it
is up, then no event gets generated (or maybe an up gets generated, not
sure). So this logic should generate a down event...which would continue
to repeat until the device was up.
Kind regards,
