Another slick solution for a couple of common requirement in high performance environments: To fail over immediately when a physical network connection fails connectivity, or if the number of active members in a trunk falls below the configured minimum.
The first sample supports individual interface monitoring. The second supports the more complex trunk management.

Monitor Source: Interface Failsafe w/Trunk Minumum Active Members support
Code :
#!/bin/bash
# (c) Copyright 2007 F5 Networks, Inc.
# Kirk Bauer
# Pass in each interface to monitor via the Arguments field in the GUI.
# Each interface may be one of the following:
# Physical interface (1.1, 1.2, etc)
# Name of a trunk (if at least one interface is up the trunk is considered up)
# trunk=min where trunk is the name of the trunk and min is the minimum number
# of physical interfaces in the trunk that must be up
# For example, the following arguments will make sure that the 1.1 interface is
# up and test_trunk has at least two interfaces in it that are up:
# 1.1 test_trunk=2
# To test on command-line, use fillers for first two arguments:
# /usr/bin/monitors/interface_monitor.sh X X 1.1 1.2 1.3 ...
# Collect arguments (first remove IP and port as we don't use those)
