Is there a server side commandline way to query a running hlds server as to number of
players
and their pings?
maybe telnet to the server port and send whatever command?
I could scan the proces table for any running hlds
parse the output for the mods/ports/max players or consult the config files for same.
query the running servers for player numbers and ping
look at /proc/PROCESS# for performance stats
look at /proc/cpuinfo for hardware config.
look at /proc/loadaverage
rpm -qa | awk '/gcc/{print}/kern/{print}' | sort
do performance samples for 5-10 minutes and normalize them
Then post the results to a webserver that stores it in a mysql database so that you
can sort
and search on any key phrase.
Further updates::
add data gather to cron and update your entries over time.
