Tool

Everybody knows those beautiful, dynamically made, system-information-webpages, generated by products like PhpSysinfo or so. Of course very nice, but most of the time you need additional packages like php and/or mysql. Or sometimes perl. I looked for a simpler way to make such a webpage, but couldn't find it anywhere on the internet.

It seemed not very difficult (yes, you actually can do this at home), so I made it myself. I also wanted it to be more secure and as independent of other packages as can be. Well okay, you have to have some kind of webserver to display the resultpage; Windows with Cygwin will work fine too (see the download-section for a special cygwin-version). But that's all you need.

I made this shell-script that generates a fairly readable html-page with all the system-info I wanted to display on my website. This shell-script uses simple shell-commands (via functions) to fill in the
actual information.

Another very big advantage of this approach is that you can also gather these script-output files of many servers on one webserver. The other servers do not need to have a webserver of their own. And in this way you have a poor-man's distributed information-system. A little bit like the idea behind Nagios, but without this complex setup and only with information you want.
