I don't think echoping downloads a webpage (at least not from what I make of the doco).
The way I do it is to use wget with time. /usr/bin/./time -po log.txt wget -q --limit-rate=20K --no-cache --output-document="page.htm" --user-agent="$useragent" $page_to_pull set $useragent to whatever you want and $page_to_pull to your target, i.e. http://myserver.com/index.html You can alter the "--limit-rate" to simulate different speed connections The timing output will be log.txt, looking something like this: real 1.13 user 0.00 sys 0.00 Add up the values, or graph them individually. I tend to only graph 'real' as the others are always zero on my system. cheers Darryl -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tobias Oetiker Sent: Tuesday, 12 December 2006 8:49 AM To: Baker, John Cc: [email protected] Subject: [rrd-users] Re: GetHTTP Hi John, that would be echoping ...
