If you just want the basics, the following perl script will do the trick:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
system ("uptime");
exit;
Put it in your cgi-bin directory, name it uptime, make it executable by
httpd,
and you are all set. Access it as http://your.server/cgi-bin/uptime.
Of course you can do this with other commands and, depending on your
perl and HTML skills, make it as fancy as you want.
