aplication - logging server uptime?

[final60]

Hey guys

Id like to be able to track the uptime of a server, the main features i'd like are:

 

Primarily to track in real time the last time server was reset and how long the server has been up since last reset!

 

It might appear like this:

 

Last Reset: 12th Dec 2008 at 23h:11m:24s

Uptime: 00:00:04h:14m:11s

 

Additionally i'd also like to log when the server is restarted in a basic text file if possible.

 

The server IP is :

 

ari1.ryzom.com

 

 

If anyone can suggest where to start I'd greatly appreciate.

The unix uptime utility can give you the uptime, so then you can easily calculate the last reset.  You can access that program in PHP using exec() (or another one in the exec() family), or backticks:

 

<?php
$uptime = `uptime`;
?>

[premiso]

<?php
  $data = shell_exec('uptime');
  $uptime = explode(' up ', $data);
  $uptime = explode(',', $uptime[1]);
  $uptime = $uptime[0].', '.$uptime[1];

  echo 'Uptime: '.$uptime;
?>

 

Not sure if this works on windows, but yea. To get the last reset time you just take the uptime convert it to seconds and subtract it from the current timestamp.

My scan shows that he's got some sort of Linux running, so it should be fine.

  $uptime = explode(',', $uptime[1]);
  $uptime = $uptime[0].', '.$uptime[1];
