... if status is down -> restart this service?

hello out there,

I suppose, some of you will be surprised because there is certainly a 
simple solution already integrated in linux (cron jobs??) and even in 
mdk8.2 - if someone knows it - but at the moment I do not know what to 
do - time is running and we have serious problems in loosing our 
adsl/pptp connection which is (also) managed via this mdk82 box - 2 or 
3 times a day I have to restart the internet connection by hand (at 
least I have to tell my colleagues how to do it for I am not 
"physically" there).
I already tried to use the webmin module system and server status - I 
am informed via email that this desired service went down but the 
command (in webmin ui) to restart the service obviousely is not 
executed (eg "service network restart" or "service adsl restart")

are there better ways to solve this restart-problem??
