[Answered] How To Print System Info

[Bill Tj]

Hi,

 

What is the best way to print system info? For example, I just want to get the result of "ruby -v". When I tried it using the PHP method, system() and exec() are disabled.

 

(Sometimes, the info at the website is out of date; for example, the Rails version according to http://www.heliohost.org/home/features/languages/ruby is 3.0.3, but according to "Installed Ruby Gem(s)" in cPanel, it is 3.1.3. The website says that the Ruby is 1.8.7, but I cannot be sure.)

 

(Also, in the worst case I can do the cron method, but hopefully there is a better way so that I don't have to wait another day just to print the system info.)

 

Best regards,

 

Bill

You could use the phpinfo() function.

See: http://php.net/manua...ion.phpinfo.php

 

Simply make a php file and use this code:

 

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

phpinfo() will only provide information on PHP. This article should help, it allows you to pull different information about Ruby and Rails through an application:

Hi,

 

Thank you for your suggestion; it is very good to know about phpinfo(). Unfortunately, the Ruby version (as will be returned from "ruby -v") and none of the Ruby information is included in the output from phpinfo.

Hi,

 

Thanks also for your suggestion. Right now, I cannot achieve it through the Ruby on Rails application, because there is something wrong with the rails app. I guess, I may go through a separate dedicated Ruby app (not with rails, maybe through CGI?).

 

Just a direct question, does anybody know what version of the Ruby is on Johnny? Thanks.

 

Regards,
