what scripting language to use

Hi,
I want to send system info like disk utilization, memory and things like that to be displayed on a web page.

gathering the system info is simple. What do I use to transfer the data to the web server? Once the data is there, its not my problem anymore

Thanks for any leads

I strongly advise you use PHP. It's much easier to work with if you use SAPI on your web server.

I can help you with this if you need (I made a similar script myself...).

As you might have guessed, the answer to this question depends on what you need accomplished.

Perl is ubiquitous these days - plus it runs on a variety of platforms
Korn Shell is powerful
Python is good for prototyping and generating complicated install scripts for both windows and unix/linux
Awk/Sed pattern matching and text processing

There are plenty others...as I said, there is not right answer to this question

I would not mind taking a look at your script if you are willing to share. I will discuss it with the web server admin. Many Thanks for the offer.
