Thanks for the replies guys.
Yeah, it's a Motorola Surfboard.
Ok, so, as for layers of dependencies, That seems deep for me. I'm trying to keep this simple. If it can't ping, I don't really care why, I just care to fix it (And I know it would be more efficient to find the actual problem, but I'm taking a more general stance, ie, If the roof leaks, it's cheaper and quicker to find the leak, but replacing the whole roof works too.).
I'll take a look at the guides, but what I'm really asking is that, with the knowledge that I can, in fact, SSH into the modem and pass it the proper command, Is the rest of it POSSIBLE?
I'll figure it out, but I need to know if I can have a script:
Run every 5 minutes
Save information about a ping in a useful fashion (ie, variable containing time in ms, or a failure state)
SSH (I'm pretty sure this one works, could someone confirm that scripts can SSH?)
If you guys could tell me (if you know) if these things are possible, I'll figure out how to implement it all, but I don't want to spend hours learning scripting only to find out that some of these break rules or aren't possible for the language to handle.
Thanks

uudemon.cleanu
uudemon(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual uudemon(4)
NAME
uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour, uudemon.poll - Administrative shell scripts for polling remote systems, cleaning up spool
directories, reporting status to the system administrator, and routine invocations of the uuxqt and uusched daemons
SYNOPSIS
These shell scripts reside in the following directory:
/usr/lib/uucp
DESCRIPTION
All the scripts can be run from the command line or can be run automatically by the cron daemon. To automatically run the scripts, remove
the comment character (#) from the beginning of the relevant line in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp file.
This script reports status to the system administrator. It issues the uustat command to find out the status of uucp jobs. It mails the
results to the uucp login ID. The script may be modified to send mail to any login ID such as the uucp administrative login ID (uucpa) or
root. This script cleans up the /var/spool/uucp and /var/spool/uucppublic directories by running the uucleanup command. The uucleanup com-
mand is run with the following parameters: -C7, -D7, X2, -o2, -W1. This script runs the uusched and uuxqt daemons in the background. This
script polls the systems listed in the /usr/lib/uucp/Poll file. The uudemon.poll script should be scheduled before the uudemon.hour
script. This allows uudemon.poll to create any command files before cron runs the uudemon.hour script.
FILES
Contains the uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour and uudemon.poll files. Contains the uucp file.
RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: cron(8), uucleanup(8), uusched(8), uuxqt(1)
