Hi,
What's a good server uptime script / system info script? Possibly free? I'd like to play around with one to see how my servers are coming along. I tried doing a search on WHT, but a bunch of weird results came up. Maybe I searched incorrectly.. oh well. Anyone have any recommendations on some good ones?

Thanks :).

phpsysinfo.sourceforge.net is a pretty popular, it gives information about the server in a nice output.

Not sure if that's what you were looking for.

If you search around on some php sites, you can usually find one.

PHPSysInfo would be good at displaying my server information. Thanks. :) But I am also looking for something to record and display my server up time. Like it shows a 99.90% uptime for example. Know where I could find one of those?

i use internetseer, its a free service, send you a report about your website every week, with % up time, Outages, Time on error etc...it also sends you alert when ur site is unreachable or errror..

With internetseer could I put it on my website so the public could view my uptime? I am looking for something that could do that.

i am not sure, they send me email every week though, maybe you will have to pay if you want to display the stats on your website? just check them

last time i use this scrip to display uptime on my forum, but now my provider doesn't allow one of the function that the require to run this script, however, just give it a try


<?
$text['minutes'] = "minute";
$text['hours'] = "hour";
$text['days'] = "day";

function uptime ()
{
global $text;
$fd = fopen('/proc/uptime', 'r');
$ar_buf = split(' ', fgets($fd, 4096));
fclose($fd);

$sys_ticks = trim($ar_buf[0]);

$min = $sys_ticks / 60;
$hours = $min / 60;
$days = floor($hours / 24);
$hours = floor($hours - ($days * 24));
$min = floor($min - ($days * 60 * 24) - ($hours * 60));

if ($days != 0) {
$result = "<b>$days</b> ".$text['days']." ";
}

if ($hours != 0) {
$result .= "<b>$hours</b> ".$text['hours']." ";
}
$result .= "<b>$min</b> ".$text['minutes'];

return $result;
}


echo uptime();

?>

May I ask what function was not allowed by your provider?

Most likely the
fopen('/proc/uptime', 'r');
due to safe mode restrictions.

What do you mean by "safe mode" restricitons.

Under any normal circumstances, /proc/uptime is available to all users. The same can get achieved by running "uptime"
