Ive developed an extremely simple PHP code that echo's the uptime of the server, which im sure is in seconds.

Here's the code:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

$uptime = exec("cat /proc/uptime");

$uptime = split(" ",$uptime);

$uptime = $uptime[0];

?>

<html>

<body>

<font face="verdana" size="1pt">

Uptime For This Month = <b><?php echo $uptime; ?></b>

</font>

</html>

However, i need to further develop this code to make it complete, and im a novice at PHP.

Could anyone help me? I need it to echo the uptime for that monthly ONLY and in a percentage. Could anyone help me?

thanks in advance!

how would the script know that the server has been rebooted/shutdown?
a page would have to open as the server boots so that a time entery can be made in the database (or file). then you would get the down time and subtract from total possible up time and this will give you the actual up time. to get a percent from this just devide one by the other

Ok, but how would this be done, like i said im a novice.

Could anyone give me a quote on how much you would want to develop this script?

i use the IPCOP system
http://www.ipcop.org/

it is easy to install on any old PC. It is a router firewall system. do you think you could do this?
