As a solution to both problems (and assuming by "unix" you mean "Linux"), you could look into using DBus: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus

I know Ubuntu has daemons running by default which trigger DBus events when network connections change and there are standard endpoints for things like current battery charge.

Look for information on DBus network manager and perhaps try this project for the power monitoring portion: http://powersave.sourceforge.net/powersave/DBus.html
