IN a nutshell yes, but...

THe default for filebench today doesn't produce a throughput summary
at regular intervals during the run. It would be quite easy to add
this feature, which is something Roch has asked for.

It's possible to do this by extending the commands sent into the
interpreter. Something like:

> load fileserver
> create filesets
> create processes
> stats clear
> sleep 10
> stats snap
> sleep 10
> stats snap
.. (extend as many times as you need...)
..
> stats dump
> shutdown processes

Regards,

Richard.
