-A simple tool to check that your services are up

+A simple tool to check that your services are up. About as braindead as it gets, but better than nothing. ;-)
+
+
+Installation
+============
+1. Install prerequisites:
+    
+    sudo pip install pyyaml termcolor
+
+2. Create your ~/.simpleton.yaml file:
+
+    HTTP:
+        - http://intra.example.com
+
+    SMTP:
+        - mail.example.com
+
+    FTP:
+        - files.example.com
+
+Todo
+====
+- Add more protocol support, even simple socket connections would be good
+- Deeper checks (SMTP sending, FTP logins, HTML parsing, etc)
