Bash Script MTR (MUST BE MTR or Traceroute EXPERT)

Let's try this yet again. I need a small bash script which simply logs changes in hops when a network goes down. The network is uses both dynamic AND static routes but that is not important to me. All I want to know is the following. When our corporate network fails... I want to start the following test... -Start of outage - timestamp -Which hop is missing - obviously, the one after which ever is last reached. When did the hop come back -Did any other hops go missing once the first one came back? If so, timestamp when it went down and when it came back. -Do NOT use a log file if at all possible, but convert the output into variables which can be printed. -Don't use single cycle checking because that creates tons of useless logs. -When the LAN connection comes back, create a timestamp to show end of problem. If you do this well, there WILL be more work!
