from time import sleep
while True:
  # Try to connect. May want to spawn a subprocess running a simple
shell script
  # Handle success / failure appropriately
  sleep 5*60 # Sleep for 5 minutes

What you monitor is up to you. At a basic level, you can see if the
server is accepting connections. At a higher level, see if you can get
a page or see if you can login as a specific person. At a higher
level, you may want to check what is on the page or what happens when
you log in. It's all up to you.
