apologies but I lost you there, what do you mean with the "simplified" one? >> Two things: >> 1) How has this been tested?

I believe something like that would be useful, and either python of perl could be enough to write something threaded to generate enough load for testing I guess. Is that what you meant when you said "banging to resulting binary"? -- "Behind every great man there's a great backpack" - B. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Ganglia-developers mailing list Ganglia-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ganglia-developers
