Hi there,

I'm in the same posistion as Monte and was asked to ''thrash test'' my 
machines to diagnose a problem.  The problem actually got sorted before I 
worked out how to ''thrash test''.  How do you push a machine into croaking 
out?  I tried usingthe Seti@Home client and re-niced it, the CPU was at 100% 
but there was very little memory used or disk activity, everything but seti 
slowed way down.  Is there an application or script that simulates high user 
load?
