Bouncing interface when it becomes unavailable

We have had a situation where a DS3 interface on a cisco 7204 router will stop responding and all that needs to happen to bring it back up is a "shut, no shut" on the interface. What is the best way to trigger this action in an automated process? When the interface stops responding I want to initiate this process prior to doing anything else.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Questionario

if you are already able to alert on it and you own NPM and NCM, you can execute an NCM script as an action, therefore issuing the command "shut/no shut" on the interface

Is there a batch file you can create or other external console utility that can automate this for you? If so, you might be able to accomplish this using Execute an external program alert action.
