Is there a way in AppleScript to trap if the connection is lost and have an AppleScript act on this?

At the risk of asking and answering myself( AppleScript below )

repeat
	tell application "FileMaker Pro"
		try
			database "db"
		on error
			do shell script "sudo shutdown -r now" with administrator privileges
		end try
	end tell
	delay 59 -- 59 secs
end repeat

This is a background script I use to make sure a server partition is always mounted.
We had irregular diconnects and this will reconnect the drive within a 10 minute time frame.
This is meant for a very 'low' use computer running background apps.
