Hi all, I am a relative newbie and I need to write a small web server load tester.
I know there are many tools out there, but I would like to write a simple script that can login to a webserver, connect to port (whatever port number i give it) and do a 'wget https://blah.blah.com :9091". While the first part is quite easy, ie writing a perl script to do a wget from the server, creating this as a daemon, running many processes simultaneously ie. I would like to run 200 to 300 processes, as each process would act like a session, stressing the webserver. The hard part is having the original perl script fork out processes. I've been reading up on fork and signals. does anybody have some suggestions on how i can do this? Thx, Radhika -- It's all a matter of perspective.
