Link Zone - PHP

That's about it for the moment. In this article, I introduced you to the patSysinfo class, which is designed primarily to assist you in the reading of real-time system information on a Linux system. I showed you how to use built-in class methods to retrieve the system's uptime, load average, host name and IP address, and how to obtain the kernel version and CPU speed. I also showed you to how to retrieve real-time information on memory usage, running processes and the list of processes using the most CPU power. Finally, I wrapped things up with a look at the functions that retrieve the list of devices attached to the system, and the list of mounted file systems.

If you'd like to learn more about patSysinfo and its related tools, you should take a look at the following links:

The lm_sensors package for hardware monitoring, at http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/

Untill next time!
