[Jobs] Alteeve is looking for a small contract windows developer

[Digimer]

Hi all,

  We're looking for someone with windows development experience to
contract for a specific small program we need. We've not delved into
windows development before so we're open to suggestions/feedbacks to
help us properly scope the project and compensate the dev.

  What we need is this;

  We need to be able to call a windows machine (over standard TCP) and
get back a small amount of XML that reports the machines CPU load,
memory usage and the storage disks on the system and how much total/free
space is available. Something like this:

====
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server host_name="innovations" uptime="x">
    <disks>
        <drive name="c:" size="80000MiB" used="46220MiB">
        <drive name="d:" size="250000MiB" used="155731MiB">
    </disks>
    <memory>
        <ram total="4096MiB" used="2904MiB">
        <swap total="4096MiB" used="0MiB">
    </memory>
    <cpu>
        <count sockets="x" cores="y"/>
        <load 1min="x" 5min="y" 15m="z" />
    </cpu>
</server>
====

  We will need this to run on windows 7+ and windows server 2008+. I
suspect that this should be simple enough that porting to different
versions shouldn't be too much of a hassle. We will not need the program
to make any changes, it only needs to report on resources. If the
program restarts for some reason, we don't care about historic CPU
loads. The goal is utmost simplicity to keep the chance of bugs causing
issues to a bare minimum.

  We're not setting a budget at this point because we know we don't know
windows well enough to properly scope this project, as mentioned. So if
someone is interested, please let me know a rough estimate of hours/cost
to have this made and we'll go from there.

  If you are interested (or know someone who is), please drop me a line
here or at my work address, 'mkelly at alteeve.ca'. Links to relevant
example work would be a big plus. :)

Thanks!
