I'm wondering if this even exists....here goes nothing: :)

A shell script, run from cron maybe that collects memory stats and
uptime.
My boss wants to see something like this on one of our intranet pages
(*plese* don't ask me why, I have no idea!) FreeBSD-5.3 STABLE is our
current intranet machine OS.

I started hand rolling a script which grepped some of top output, but in
order to make it meaningful there's a significant amount of regexp
knowledge required to dump the output that is *not* needed. Regexps give
me brain pain.

Googling showed a bunch of extremely nice looking graphical output php
scripts, all of which (ironically) are overkill. This is just intended
to be a small cell on a intranet page which shows uptime/load averages,
and what top produces in terms of memory usage. An slightly modiefied
and formatted version of my .sig I guess.

snmp is not running, otherwise I could prolly do something with that
(it's not running for security reasons)...so my options as I see 'em now
are somewhat limited.

Suggestions, guidance, advice, a kick in the rear...all would be
appreciated! :-)

Regards,
-Colin
