KKRcon-like program

[Time Sheep]

Hey,
I am looking for a scriptable program that will run under Linux (CentOS 6 x86)
KKRcon seems to time out every time I try to run it.
I tried both connecting through the loopback address 127.0.0.1, but also my external IP address but both timed out.
It's a dedicated server without any firewall or something like it - so all ports are exposed. RCON works fine for me from home using either the console ingame or HLSW.

Like I said it must be scriptable because it will monitor my servers and report downtime to me, and make sure the gamemode doesn't change (Because it happens to do that sometimes)

Wether it's a fix or another program it would be greatly appreciated if you know of something.

is shell not script-able enough?
