Obtaining power values

[mirainc]

Does anyone know if it is possible to obtain power consumption values of a monitor, hard disk and CPU of a PC from a IP address or something? It is for a project of mine. Using PHP codes.

Thanks

You would probably need to install a script on the target PC which sends the values to your server - eg, inserts into a database.

ie...

1. Shell Script:
Collects the information.
Goes to a URL (eg script.php?ip=192.168.2.2&power=240W) (you could have it launch this URL in a browser window or there is probably a command line way to do this too).
(You could do this with PHP but you would need a local version of PHP on the machine and you would still need exec() I think).

2. Server PHP: script.php

$ip=$_GET['ip'];
$power=$_GET['power'];
$query= "INSERT INTO power SET ip='$ip', power='$power'";
//run query
 

3. Schedule
Have the shell script run at regular intervals on the target PC.

Any way at all to do this without doing anything on the PC that i want the value from?

Thanks 4 the above info.. (:

Heya, mirainc.

PHP runs on the server, not the client. So you could potentially fetch these values for the server, but that's it.

Here is something you could use for the .bat script:

Is there a way of obtaining System information of a PC through IP address? in PHP of course..

Thanks
