siege can help you accomplish that goal. It allows you to specify a time to run and it gives you some flexibility with scheduling requests.
Let's say you wanted to run approximately 12,000 hits in an hour. You could do something like this: siege -c 250 -t1h -d 15 http://www.haha.com/whoohoo http://www.joedog.org/index/siege-home Cheers, Jeff ________________________________________ From: Krish, Sailesh [[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 2:31 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [us...@httpd] Stress testing apache 2.2 with ab Hi, I would like to stress test an apache web server using ab.
