Regarding CloudSuite Web-serving benchmark

[Bhattacharjee, Anirban]

Hi,
We are experimenting on  CloudSuite Web-serving benchmark and collecting the 
data as described in http://cloudsuite.ch/webserving/.
But, we want to do the experiment with varying load and want to collect the 
system data regarding the period. We have tried  to implement the variable load 
as mentioned in http://faban.org/1.3/docs/howdoi/loadvariation.html.
However, we cannot see the expected results in the data. The cpu, memory 
utilization and the throughput is not varying accordingly. I'm attaching our 
run.xml file along with variableload file.

And please let me know how to run the workload from terminal.

Sincerely,
Anirban
