that didnt tell me to much to be honest , what does it do ?
i have a ssh session with tunnels running on my school computer , back home , and i need it to be restarted if either my home pc or school pc goes down..
i have no control from home , and would like the script to be restarted if my home computer goes down f,ex ..
its started each time the school pc boots

it checks if port-80 is open (needs to be run by root since it is a priv port) and if it is prints that str to the screen

This one's longer but it'll work without root:
Code:
if netstat -tuna | grep ':80 .*LISTEN' > /dev/null; then
    # local port 80 is open
else
    # isn't
fi
