RE: System Status

[steve.cooper@xxxx]

John also has an xPL MBM app that monitors thinks like temperatures etc.
but that would mean running software on the other machines.

Since I have thought of a simpler way.
This is to write a vbscript ping routine that accepts an IP or server name
and as a result updates a global variable or insert a database record of
the same name. You can then run a script calling it for each machine from
a recurrring event.

The webpage can then just read the global variable or the database
depending on the approach.

Neil,

Have a look at xAP Ping and xAP Watcher available on James' site
www.mi4.biz. You could use these and bridge the xAp messages to xPL ( and
vv
) using the inbuilt xAP hub within xPLHAL - and a bit of scripting.

I mix and match a few xPL and xAP applications that suit my
needs,
eg currently I use the xPL HomeVision connector and the xAP TV &amp;
weather
guides - the inbuilt 'scriptable' bridge allows you to choose as you wish
from either protocol.

Kevin
