About what I would have guessed: by the time the script gets run the 
connection's already down.  Maybe what you need, Patrick, is a script 
that periodically checks to see if the connection's up and if so, writes 
out the data you're looking for to a file, overwriting the old data. 
Have it start when your connection goes up and exit when the connection 
drops.  That way, you can check it, rename it or whatever before 
re-establishing connectivity.
