i wrote this python to monitor my redis or beanstalk process, cannot give you full of my scripts this is only basic scripts. in case me in the future forget how to write and send command to server via telnet and failed because of hung in the middle of process (got into limbo) this will get the value and send that value over to monitoring server thru REST API or CLI
