Hi Paul, Well I would actually would like to run them one after other with shutting down virtual machine between each benchmark run.
is that posible? what I would like actually is this 1)boot up virtual machine 2)set simulation parameters (set simconfig stats file) 3)run benchmark 4)kill simulation (shut down virtual machine) 5)return to step 1 and pass everything for second benchmark and log file, What I want to do is actually to make a script that will run 10 different benchmarks that would generate me 10 different log files (log file per benchmark) with shutting down virtual machine after every benchmark run? Thanks for everything Paul, regards Zoran On Fri, May 10, 2013 at 6:40 PM, Paul Rosenfeld <[email protected]>wrote: > Do you want to run them one after the other without shutting off the > virtual machine?
