Getting ntop to Exit if Capture Error Occurs

I am using ntop to monitor traffic on a software router (Ubuntu 8.10
server) that manages a 3G modem. wvdial periodically resets the modem
because it stops responding, causing the ppp0 interface to disappear. ntop
reports that capture of ppp0 fails but does not exit. Is there an option
that causes ntop to exit so that I can restart it? I am not running ntop
as a daemon.
Thanks, Norbert

Not that I'm aware of. I'd run it as a daemon (and pcap) and cron a status script that will restart whateever processes need restarting.
