Expired Domain Name Catching Script

domain-name-catching.rb

domain = "www.test.com"
email = "[email protected]"
password = "test"

require 'whois'
require 'gmail'

client = Whois::Client.new

while true
  puts "Checked at #{Time.now.to_s}"
  break if client.query(domain).available?
  sleep 60
end

puts "Domain is now available!"

gmail = Gmail.new(email, password)

email = gmail.deliver do
  to email
  subject "Domain #{domain} has expired!"
  body "The name you wanted is now available."
end

This script will check every minute if a domain is available or not, and will send you a G-mail message when the domain becomes available.
