Yes, you are right. You run the netstat command and match the output to the IP address you are trying to match in a condition statement. When it matches, you can either pass the matching IP address to another executable script to read the .txt file and do what you want, or read the .txt file from the first script and match.
I would do it all in one script, if not too complex, and execute the script from the crontab file every couple of minutes. You will need a flag and a timer to insure that you do not get multiple hits on an IP address, because the address will linger in netstat longer than the interval between crontab executions.
I would write this in PERL, because PERL is better suited for this that SH, KSH, and these type shells.
