Simulation

[pyfsapple]

Hi all

I have implemented a system using PHP, MySQL, and want to simulate the affordability of the system.

I tried to write some codes (e.g. 1000 requests to the system by for-loop) to test the response of the system, but it seems that those tests cannot illustrate the real case as all the requests are come ONE-BY-ONE.

Anyone have hints on writing codes that can initiate a number, say, a hundred of request at the same time?

Thanks

If you're on a linux box you can run the script that runns 1000 times in the background using the @ and then run about 5 or 6 of them as background processes.

Thanks OhLordy

That's a good idea, but even limited from 5 or 6.
Alternatively, we may use cron job.

But I am wonder if we can create 100 to 500 process at the same time.
