does anyone know of a script so that i can display my server's load on a page? i was looking for something like what is on this site http://www.sxc.hu/

i dont think that is possible if you have a shared hosting enviroment. as it is more easily done with a dedicated. who ever you host with should point you into the right direction. as i know with running a uptime script i have to have cpanel cron job every 15 - 30 min or so and put it into a file for my website to understand it as i cannot access the httpdid.conf file or what ever it is. but check with a host to see if such a thing is allowed

i host my own site from my home, so i have full access to the server. is it possible with perl? i have a small cgi script that will do it, but it is not a status bar like on sxc.hu.

#!/usr/bin/perl --
print "content-type:text/html\n\n";
 
my $html = `uptime`;
$html =~ s/\n+//g;
if ($ENV{QUERY_STRING} =~ /js/){ print qq~uptime=('$html'); document.write(uptime);~; }
else{ print $html; }
exit;
