Hey folks,

I'm in the process of doing benchmark testing on a new datawarehouse(SAS) server at work. Since we don't have a regular DBI module to the data, we use a remote shell call to grab the information needed when a user hits certain pages on our site.

We will have about a hundred users regularly hitting these pages, and we are wanting to test how the web server, datawarehouse server, and the network behave under heavy traffic.

We want to create the effect of executing a hundred remote shells concurrently and measure the results. I'm already familiar with the Benchmark module for gathering the results, and we have already tested the servers for multiple iterations, each call right after the other. Now we need to test it with a shotgun effect to see how they hold up to the load.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. You can either post here or email me here. You know what to do with the email address.

Thanks, t
