Is it possible to have a webpage showing a server's current status without a special program?

It would be like jk3servers.com, and if it is possible, how would you crate a link to launch the game to that server?

I know the second is possible, because I have seen it for other programs using a different word instead of http.

-thanks

you could use serverspy, I am not exactly sure how, but for an example go here (http://jsa.sentient-studios.com/html/default.htm) and scroll down to the bottom of the page

AgentZed edited the original script and made this for my server:

is that the idea your looking for?

Jediservers.com has this program for only $2-4 a month:
