UnixWare 7 Loadtest Suite (loadtests) (Archive)












UnixWare 7 Loadtest Suite

The loadtests package contains the UnixWare 7 Loadtest Suite that exercises a computer system under a heavy load. The suite is executed using loadtests(1Mcert), an interactive shell script.

Previous versions of this suite were called hcptest, which is still the name of the script on OpenServer 5 systems. This package is otherwise unchanged since HDK Release 7.0.0.

For current information about the entire UnixWare/OpenServer Hardware Development Kit (HDK) release, see the HDK Release Notes.
