In such tight sequence you can detect that radvd has been just
started, because radvd truncates pidfile before daemon(). In such
situation you can wait for pid awhile (e.g. separate thread could use
inotify for this)

Some general questions:
- radvd is optional for ipv6 network. How one can configure to not to
spawn radvd daemon
- did you thought about running only one instance of radvd and sending
SIGHUP to daemon after adding/removing interfaces to conffile
