FWIW, you can do some of the above in /etc/network/interfaces so that
"ifup ax0" and "ifdown ax0" work like other devices. Here's what I have;

auto ax0
iface ax0 inet static
	address 192.168.250.1
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	network 192.168.250.0
	broadcast 192.168.250.255
	hwaddress ax25 VK3SB-1
	pre-up kissattach /dev/ttyS0 APRS 192.168.250.1
	post-down killall kissattach
	post-down rm /var/lock/LCK..ttyS0

(The "down" part is a bit ugly I admit.)
