Im a reseller so dont have full root access.
Can anyone advise how i would access the server uptime & information (ie loads, hdd space etc)

David

Well, you can use HyperSpin to keep track of your UpTime. As for the Server Information, HDD Space, etc, those should be under your WHM 'Server Information'. If your provider does not allow you to view it, maybe request it from them. I have a script (I'll find it and give it to you) that shows every detail of a server, HDD Information, mounts, etc. I use this script all the time.

The script would be perfect.
I have access to the info just looking to dispaly it outside cpanel

Thank you

Hey,

Are you looking for something like this?

That's what I use.

yep that would be exactly something that i would be looking for

David

Here you go. :)

thanks for the script, however does not work with shell_exec disabled, grr

Annoying me now

David

Oh, that's not good.

is there anyway to disable it for just that domain?

David

I'm not exactly sure. I hope someone else can assist you in this question.

If you can use cron to schedule jobs on server, you could make small script that will gather data for you and have it run every minute. Something like this:

#!/bin/sh
DATA_DIR=/home/username/html/data/
uname -sr > $DATA_DIR/version
hostname > $DATA_DIR/hostname
uptime > $DATA_DIR/uptime
free > $DATA_DIR/free
df > $DATA_DIR/df


... and then from your php rather then calling exec you read data from files with file_get_contents()

So instead

$version = `uname -sr`;
$name = `hostname`;
$uptime = `uptime`;
....
function output_df()
{
$disk = `df`;

...
function output_free()
{
$free = `free`;
...

You would have

$DATA_DIR = '/home/username/html/data/';

$version = file_get_contents("$DATA_DIR/version");
$name = file_get_contents("$DATA_DIR/hostname");
$uptime = file_get_contents("$DATA_DIR/uptime");
....

function output_df()
{
global $DATA_DIR;
$disk = file_get_contents("$DATA_DIR/df");

...
function output_free()
{
global $DATA_DIR;
$disk = file_get_contents("$DATA_DIR/free");

ive tried using file_get_contents for the /proc/uptime scripts but getting open base dir restrictions.

Would the method of home/username/html/data work instead?

David

There was a free script on sourceforge that did exactly this. I will have to take a look and find it for you.

Nevermind, I've found it! :)

Link: http://phpsysinfo.sourceforge.net/

There is also some demo links on there, so you can see what it is like before you download. I'm not sure if it works with shell_exec disabled though.

jus trying that

was hoping to write my own

David

did not work :( the openbase_dir restriction

grrr

In that case, I'm not sure that any script will work. The host puts the restrictions within php.ini, for security.

You could try asking if they would remove the restrictions... I doubt they would, but it's worth a try.

Is there not a way to have it removed on a per domain basis so its not effecting all accounts>?

David

If your php script is in /home/username/html/script.php and it works, chances are that IT can open any files in that folder and it's subfolders, so /home/username/html/data should work just fine.

Dvaid

Unless the server is using phpsuexec, then you won't be able to do this, as far as I know.

cant find the folder with /data in it :(

Davdi

Would the method of home/username/html/data work instead?You'd need to set that path (home/username/html/data) to something in your system that exists and is allowed by open_basedir.

Alternatively you could just run the same commands on demand using a cgi program:
#!/bin/sh

echo "Content-type:text/plain"
echo

uname -sr
hostname
uptime
free
df
Call it test.cgi or test.sh, put it in your cgi-bin directory and chmod 0755.

never played with cgi before, so no idea how i could get that info into a database, but i do find it ironic that it works fine in cgi
