This small ruby script is written as a school project.
The intention is to monitor ports over TCP connection. Append the results in a MySQL database, and notify via gmail / google apps mail, if a port isn't connectable.
You could run it as a cron job, or make a

while true
....
sleep 300


Remember to install the gems.
ignore the warnings from tlsmail.

MySQL instructions:

mysql -u root -p
<root password here>

CREATE DATABASE sites;
GRANT ALL ON sites.* TO USER@localhost IDENTIFIED by 'PASSWORD';

exit

replace USER with your username, 'PASSWORD' with your password. You might also want to replace 'sites' with your own database.
The script will create tables needed the first time it's being executed.

Remember to replace the websites and ports in sites.conf
Remember to insert your own values in login.conf
