  1. A ps aux | less - Based on the highest usage first would be cool.
  2. A list of CPUs and each CPU's load.
  3. Disk I/O... Uhm a more accurate ping time (the one on the original is in accurate)...
  4. Disk usage in MB or GB...
  5. Multiple tab-ed interface for seeing the data above.
  6. A process checker (IE you can specify servphp to check and see if apache or minecraft or whatever is up).
  7. A process restarter? If a process is down have the option in the config file to allow someone to restart it via this script in a web broswer.

  doing that leads to you having to either run PHP as root or having to use a setuid app. setuid isn't completely terrible if you sanitize all of the values you pass into it, but you can also end up with a fully rooted box if you're sloppy.

  Just use sudo and give it only access to one specific shellscript for restarting app X

  Of course it would be an option to turn on/off in the config and any sane admin would password protect something like that (possibly another option to add to the config).
