Uptime Counter

robomonkey · 2006-04-14, 21:15

My install is pretty stable at the moment and what I'd love to see is am 'uptime counter' to prove how stable it is.

Hopefully this will be a simple skin addin but I don't know where to look

I would like to see this to.
My main system has been running non-stop for about three weeks. It started from a clean install and a CVS from 2 Feb 06.

WAF has been through the roof. There for a while I would get the "your messing with it again?" question all the time.

My CVS/SVN/Skin/Plugin test system (son's computer) is a little different story. It's to be expected though, it is always useing the latest and "greatest".

Anyone else like to see this?

it could go in a "system info" plugin

Should be easy enough to do - just parse out the uptime from the data which comes back from the systeminfo command entered in a cmd window. example below:

Code:

...
Original Install Date:     2/14/2006, 10:03:58 AM
System Up Time:            2 Days, 0 Hours, 1 Minutes, 10 Seconds
System Manufacturer:       Dell Computer Corporation
System Model:              OptiPlex GX270
System type:               X86-based PC
...

There is more info which I didn't show (before and after).

I made a simple plugin for my own use to see XML download time and remaining disk space, I then added version number of MP. I added an uptime counter today. At the moment it is hardcoded for my drives, but if your interested I could change this and share it.

download where?

NLS · 2006-07-21, 08:32

getting somewhere

I have uploaded a new version on my web site:

http://www.nordicfx.com/software/mpinfo.rar

It now enumerates all drives on the computer instead of hardcoding.

Woot

Brilliant!!!

Will try it soon as I get home.

Do you thinkit would also be worth adding the versions of some DX files like the ones needed for multiple tuners? I think this About screen is immensly useful.
