I thought about this, and may still go down this path. The one caveat is
that the script might take some time to run (ie do a traceroute to the
external interface of a vpn session across the Internet timing out the
majority of the way). In that case, my alert might come several minutes
after the actual event.

One way around it would be to generate the initial alert before doing the
time consuming stuff...
