FWIW, here's what I'm running from cron every five minutes:

#!/bin/sh

ping -n -c 1 -t 2 10.0.1.249  2>&1 > /dev/null
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
   NETMASK=`ifconfig tun0 | grep -c netmask`
   if [ $NETMASK -eq 0 ]
   then
      echo "TUN0 is not healthy.  starting VPN again."
      /usr/local/etc/rc.d/pptp.sh start
   else
#      echo "TUN0 looks healthy"
   fi
else
#   echo "link is OK"
fi
