Firewall Watchdog Script

Well, if you are like me, one day, while adding a new rule or making a change to your firewall, you will forget and leave it off. This situation could go undetected for months allowing someone to easily enter your site. To prevent this, I've written a simple script that checks that the firewall is turned on. If you place it in your /etc/cron.hourly file, and you leave your firewall off, you will get an email message (assuming that you are running my firewall script and that you receive mail from root).
