Does anybody know a script like phpSysInfo (http://sourceforge.net/project/?form_grp=15) but for several RedHat servers?

I am looknig for a script generating a single page for monitoring several of my servers with the most important information (server name, CPU, memory, swap, disk space).


What I don't like about phpSysInfo is that isn't maintained very good (recently the main developer vanished, see http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1083122&group_id=15&atid=350015 ) and that it doesn't display how much of the memory is "used" (kernel/applications vs. buffers vs. cache, see a customized version at http://www.van-roermund.nl/phpsysinfo/ ).

I dont like php-sysinfo script because it require non-secure settings in php configuration like disabling open-basedir protection and allow proc-open and passthru commands for php - which many hackers are using them.
I have developed some custom script which I converted from server monitoring script and added showing server load for multiple servers along with server ports status - all this by execution of perl cgi scripts from php fread command.

In my opinion, the best software to do that is Cacti. It is PHP based, supports multiple servers (TreeView to navigate between server stats) and even generates graphs.

Is there anyway I can get that code used for this customized version?
Thanks,

According to the post at sourceforge.net he did the modifications on his own, maybe we should contact him and work on an improved version of this script....
