Of course, you can use GoldenGate "monitor" (part of the GG "management pack"), which has this functionality.  Optionally, if you're already using EM, use GG monitor + EM integration.  See: Management Pack for Oracle GoldenGate
Otherwise, you have other options: query the status of running processes using ggsci; or, configure GG to write reports (to dirrpt/{name}.rpt) with the info you need; and/or generate warning messages (to ggserr.log), and periodically parse these files for the relevant info.  See the GG Admin guide, "Monitoring Oracle GoldenGate Processing".
As an example using ggsci from a script:
$ echo 'info myextr showch' | ./ggsci  | egrep 'Checkpoint|RBA'
Checkpoint Lag       1:24:07 (updated 00:00:07 ago)
Log Read Checkpoint  File dirdat/tc000000
                     2014-01-23 06:14:41.000000  RBA 4338
Current Checkpoint Detail:
Read Checkpoint #1
  Startup Checkpoint (starting position in the data source):
    RBA: 0
  Current Checkpoint (position of last record read in the data source):
    RBA: 4338
Although, configuring GG to report lag warnings, and then using scripts to monitor ggserr.log would be simpler & more flexible.
