Raspberry Pi system monitor embedded on your own site

*** NOTE: ControlMyPi shutting down ***

Above is an embedded ControlMyPi panel showing some system stats from my Raspberry Pi.

If you want to run one of these yourself set up your Raspberry Pi for ControlMyPi by following the instructions on the site and then run the script below (after changing it to use your account and password).

To embed it on your site use an iframe using the instructions on the ControlMyPi FAQ.

If you want this to run automatically every time you boot up just add a line to /etc/rc.local e.g. python /path/to/script/pimonitor.py &
