Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Programming Discussion : Access server uptime / loads etc

[SH-Dave]

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)

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.

[SH-Dave]

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

Thank you

Here you go.

// You can use game servers or anything.

$services = array( 
    "http"=>"localhost:80", 
    "ssh"=>"localhost:22",

[SH-Dave]

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

Annoying me now

David

[HostXV]

Oh, that's not good.

[SH-Dave]

is there anyway to disable it for just that domain?

David

[HostXV]

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

PHP Code:

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

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


You would have

PHP Code:

$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"); 


[SH-Dave]

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

[LH-Danny]

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

[LH-Danny]

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.

[SH-Dave]

jus trying that

was hoping to write my own
