[5165] server status checker

[ASSN9NE]

i was wondering if any1 has a server status checker for Epic WebServer 2 add 2 my main co site so people can stop asking "is server on or off?"
i have tried this but it faild

<?php
print"SERVER:HERE";
$ip = "IP:HERE";
$port = "9958";
if (! $sock = @fsockopen($ip, $port, $num, $error, 5))
echo '<B><FONT COLOR=red>Offline</b></FONT>';
else{
echo '<B><FONT COLOR=green>Online</b></FONT>';

fclose($sock);
}
?>

once i get the server status checker i can make it for the login server and create account server also
btw im not using the appserver/www folder

delete the variables $error and $num and try again

Also that will only see if the remote host is accepting connections on that port, not if the server itself is online.

One way to do it (which I plan to implement soon) is a separate program that checks the running processes every 1-5 minutes checking if both game and login server are running. If they are it updates the database to say server is online, if not it re-opens them. Also plan to have it auto restart both every 12 or 24 hours.


Unless you have something like that, or something written into your source itself that allows a remote connection to grab info from the server, you won't be able to do a 'real' status checker.
