I'm using ApacheBench (on CPAN) at the moment, but it doesn't do graphing and I'm not sure how many other things on your list it also doesn't handle. :-( I've also heard of people using http_load (www.acme.com) in the past, but I don't know what that's like. If you want to do shell scripts, you might want to look at curl (http://curl.haxx.se) which also has a perl library behind it and supports large quantities of stuff. -Dom -- | Semantico: creators of major online resources | | URL: http://www.semantico.com/ | | Tel: +44 (1273) 722222 | | Address: 33 Bond St., Brighton, Sussex, BN1 1RD, UK. |
