this is for testing and is in a save environment.. anyway I'm looking for command or script that would allow me to visit a web page like 5 times in a row, and then close, I tried lynx, and links, but they are text base browser and some things on the web page won't execute correctly like some java/html code.... so I decided to do something with firefox, and make it automatically and came with this little script it works, the only problem is that it waits for user input; like it waits for me to close the browser and then it moves to the next instruction...I would like to open pages x amount of times and each in a separate tab...I looked at firefox help but I couldn't find any commands for opening in different tabs, if anyone has a better idea, they are welcome...
here's the script...
Code:
A=0
while [ $A -le 5 ] ; do firefox http://website.com
count=`expr $A + 1`
done
killall firefox
exit
Quickie fix if this is a shell script would be to add the ampersand: "do firefox http://website.com &"
I'm sure there's a similar option in other scripting languages.
Other than that, I'm not real sure what to say, especially if there has to be any interaction with the web page, doubly so if via scripting.
I'm assuming you're just trying to load-test or balance the thing?
