Then you'll need to write a launch deamon for it. See here for an easy tutorial:
without annoying me by welcoming me home every ten seconds.
Define some property with the value "0". Put an if test at the beginning of the repeat loop that says if the value is 1 then exit (don't do the rest of the loop), if the value is 0 do the rest of the loop. After the ping test, make sure you set that property to 1 when the ping is successful (and exit) or sets it to 0 ( and repeat) if it's not.
On success, the repeat loop will stop, but the script will run again according to the interval you define in the 'StartInterval' key of the launchd plist.
