Hi ,

Please help to provide the stress tools for the Linux Type operating systems.

1. CPU Stress
2. Memory Stress
3. Network Stress.
4. Hard Disk Stress.

I need these tools to test if the internal system (3rd party) can generate alerts if the threshoild reaches.

Thanks

It has lots and lots of tools to test the stress of CPU, Memory, Network and Hard Disk (I/O).

Many Thanks for providing thelink.

I am trying to untar the cpu stress file and its giving me block error:-

root@hdcp-aaaldap01 # tar -xvf cpuburn_1_4_tar.tar
tar: tape blocksize error


Can you please provide me the link for the file directly.

Same for the network , memory and hard drive.

Please mention after generating the load how can I kill the process.

Thanks

It's because it's not a tar file. It's a tarball, or by other means, a gzipped tar file. Here's the direct link:

http://pages.sbcglobal.net/redelm/cpuburn_1_4_tar.gz

After downloading it, untar it with tar -xvzf cpuburn_1_4_tar.gz.

Enter into the extracted files directory: cd cpuburn-1.4

Then compile. Just type make

To stop the load, type "ps aux | grep [and the name of the program, e.g. burnMMX]" to find out the PID of the process causing the load. The PID is the 1st number after your username, in my case (firefox) is 6642. Then, to kill, type "kill 6642" or if it doesn't kill, "kill -9 6642".

Hope you understood.

After unzipping I got the below files:-

root@hdcp-aaaldap01 # ls -ltr

How can i run the command for :-

root@hdcp-aaaldap01 # uname -a

The downloaded files are not binary, so they cannot be executed. You have to compile them yourself. Inside the folder containing the extracted files (burnBX.S, burnK6.S, etc.), type "make". Make sure you have, before typing make, the make, gcc, and other compiling-related packages.

To find out what version ot CPUBurn you should use (each version, burnBX, burnK6, burnMMX, ... is optimized for a type of processor) you have to type "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and post here the result, so we can figure out what processor are you using (Xeon, but I need more info).

Then, if compilation worked, you should be able to type "./burn[we don't know this yet, eg MMX]" and run the CPU stress load. But be sure that the binaries that you compiled have permission to execute: "chmod u+x [the file, eg burnMMX]". The previous command will give that permission.

Hope it helped.

All that is very good practice in linux but...

You can get cpuburn on the UBCD live-cd.
