Yes, the script I provided is a Bash script.

Bash (Bourne Again SHell) is a command interpreter and scripting language that is widely used on Unix and Linux operating systems. Bash scripts are text files containing a series of commands that the system executes sequentially.

This type of script is useful for automating tasks on the system, such as managing services, performing backups, automating system administration, and many other repetitive tasks. In the case of the provided script, its purpose is to monitor the status of the HIVE node service and restart it automatically if it detects that it is not active.

Much appreciated. I was going to write a small script to check if the API is up in NodeJS.. but this bash script should work with less overhead.

Thank you captain!
