I think coinotron is a good LTC Pool, but it doesn't provide JSON API to allow monitoring or logging, so I've made my own one, let's share it for you. Hope all would help.
The script is written in ruby and designed to run in cgi-bin of an web server.
The main purpose is to raise the awareness of the importance of the read only API. If the developer of coinotron released these extremely simple JSON API, this script would be useless. Thank you!
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
username = "xxxxxxxx"
password = "xxxxxxxxx"
puts "Content-type: text/text\n\n" unless ENV["HTTP_HOST"].nil?
require 'httpclient'
clnt = HTTPClient.new
clnt.set_cookie_store("cookie.dat")
r = clnt.get "https://coinotron.com/coinotron/AccountServlet?action=home"
while r.header.status_code == 302 do
r = clnt.get r.header["Location"][0]
end
clnt.post "https://coinotron.com/coinotron/AccountServlet?action=logon", {"name" => username, "password" => password, "Logon" => "Logon"}
html = clnt.get_content "https://coinotron.com/coinotron/AccountServlet?action=myaccount"
require 'nokogiri'
doc = Nokogiri::HTML.parse html
h = Hash.new
h["worker"] = Hash.new
ltc_cr = ltc_ucf = ltc_c = 0
doc.css("input").each do |i|
ltc_cr = i["value"].to_f if i["name"] == "CurrentRoundRewardsLTC"

end
doc.css("tr").each do |row|

worker_name = khash = ""
row.children.each do |c|
worker_name = c.text.strip if c.name == "td" and ct == 2
khash = c.text.strip if c.name == "td" and ct == 6
ct +=1
end
next if h["worker"][worker_name].nil?
h["worker"][worker_name]["khash"] = khash
end
#puts h
require 'json'
puts h.to_json
Then output looks like
{"CurrentRoundRewardsLTC"=>0.0, "UnconfirmedRewardsLTC"=>0.0, "ConfirmedRewardsLTC"=>2.91905758, "TotalRewordsLTC"=>2.91905758, "idler921.gpu"=>{"coin"=>"LTC", "workerrewardtype"=>"Round based pay per share", "khash"=>"152.2 KH/s"}, "idler921.cpu"=>{"coin"=>"LTC", "workerrewardtype"=>"Pay per share", "khash"=>"45.0 KH/s"}}
