cpu temp & load on the motage display

this would be usedul but would need to be able to turn off.

I thoght there was already service available to monitor CPU load/temp remotely. Besides this would add another dependancy to install ZM as LM sensors would be requiered.

I agree another dependancy would be bad. I assume it would be possible to modify the page so it did though if you really need it. I think that load is sufficient.

Why ad this to ZM when you can download somthing that do this for free.

PHP Sysinfo : http://phpsysinfo.sourceforge.net/

Load is displayed already on the console currently.

Corey I know i think thats all thats needed.
One thing that may be nice though is having the load value as a filter. I beleive you can set up email alerts from other sources but if its easy done be nice to do it all via zm.

The idea was to just have the montage displayed for viewing. Load and temp would then be useful to see how loaded the box is, and due to the loading any pending fan failure etc could be seen by the temp.

As it would be an administrative thing I would think that using something like phpsysinfo or webmin would be a better solution.
It would be Phil's call if he would like to do that but, I think adding another dependancy (lmsensors) just complicates the build and increases the possibility of more complications. If we had more people working the source maybe, but I think IMHO that Phill does plenty enough just keeping up with the current dependancies. As >MySQL 4.1 and PHP 5 (>php4.4) become more mainstream the PHP code needs to be updated to stay functional and that will be a bit of work it self.
I'm trying to learn so I can try to help out more but is a slow process. Also in light of recent events in the Southern states, I'm contracting the help of the BORG to make a database and frontend GUI that limits traffic to facilitate Health and Wellfare and resorce management traffic over various transmition mediums (TCP-IP, AX25) so that it is efficiant over 900-2400 baud (HF- UHF radio) to support remote locations. This is a project I previously didn't have the knowledge for 11 years ago when I thought of it. Now we need it more than ever and the borg is local to me and has the resorces to compleate the project in a week and support me once out in the field to tweak any bugs (thinking about it this would be an awesome project for the linux community if we could build all of it using MySQL with a web frontend on the server and an application for the laptops to cut the traffic to just the data. Would get some publicity possibly if the community could get it to work). Hmm, thinking I will start the project on source forge and see if I can make that happen.
After getting that compleated then I'm probably on my way south with a trailer load of radio gear from an presently undetermined source to assist the Red Cross if they will have me.
Here are the links for Webmin and phpsysinfo:
