Three methods that may help with designing a procedure:

1.  have the script that starts the tunnel retry if it fails, using
shell logic such as "until pon tunnel updetach; do sleep 2; done",

2.  have the script check that the internet is accessible before it
starts, using whatever means works in the circumstances, such as
ifconfig, grep /etc/resolv.conf, or ping.  For example: "until ping -c 1
10.0.0.138; do sleep 1; done; pon tunnel updetach",

3.  have the script executed by post-up scripts owned by the network
interface that is needed, so that once the system has finished raising
this network interface the tunnel is started.  On Debian or Ubuntu, this
means adding an "up" script in /etc/network/interfaces, but I don't know
exactly how to do it on Fedora.  Look for if-up.local.
