Get Raspcontrol or Webmin. http://www.randrade.tk/index.php/2013/0 ... from-home/

you could try this:
http://derkev.in/rpisysinfoscript/

simply extract the zip file in your lighttpd-www-directory

the one i'm using here http://93.97.163.97:81/livestatus/status.php is quite good although the temp reading isn't working at the moment

The Server Utils section of Baked Raspberry Pi Mod will install phpsysinfo for you, which is shows a heap of detail.

I just used it to install phpsysinfo as a demo for you here:

http://www.tall.co.nz/phpsysinfo/index.php?disp=dynamic

I did note that there is no option but to install to /var/www/ so if you need it in a different directory, you will need to move it, or install it manually (just drag and drop the whole phpsysinfo dir if needed).

This will be fixed in the next release.

And the most simple way I can think of to display the free ram is this:

Create a script:

Code: Select all

nano ~/freeram.sh

then paste in:

Code: Select all

#! /bin/bash
RAM=$(free -m)
echo $RAM > /var/www/freeram.txt

and save it (CTRL+X)

then type:

Code: Select all

chmod +x ~/freeram.sh

then run:

Code: Select all

~/./freeram.sh

Then you can just browse to http://www.domain.com/freeram.txt to see it.

There are a million ways to improve on this, and get the output looking good, or piped into another page somewhere.
