Hello List
I wanted to get some basic bandwidth statistics across a WAN link. The approach I think I am going to take is the following:
Usea perl scipt to read in a bunch of files, determine the sizes, start a timer (not sure how to do this yet), copy the files across the link (winxp-win2003
Create a batch file, and create a shortcut on the desktop to the batch
file.
The batch file should look like this:
C:\perl\bin\perl.exe YourPrelScript.pl %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
Notes:
1. Only works for a max of 9 files dropped on the icon. CMD has a shift
operator which, coupled with a for
I'm not sure that your method is very useful for two:
1) Your mileage will vary massively depending on the link
bandwidth/latency, and also how congested it is
2) There's an awful lot of overhead when using Windows SMB to move files
around, so you won't get a 'true' measure of bandwidth
You'd
Eric,
I can only offer some general advice. I do something similar to get
statistics on FTP-transfers. Here are some notes:
1. Since I have multiple events (2 per transfer, i.e. start and end
times) and multiple transfers per session, I define an array to hold the
various times, i.e. @Time.
2.
If you are looking for download speed, your approach will probably work.
If you want bandwidth stats, use MRTG.

It's already written. It's customizable. It's perl. It does an snmp get
(defaults to the interface usage but can read any snmp
Oh yes, MRTG is great. I guess I am looking for download speed.
Thanks

Thanks for the response. I agree, this wouldn't be a true measure ofbandwidth. I am however interestedthe user experience of moving files from the client machine to the server (all windows). I am doing this for a before and after comparison. The after, is the installation of a CIFS optimization
Thanks Dirk
Some good tips there, I will have to add file deletion routine.
regarding point 5 below, wouldfile::copy be shell based?

Eric,
Here is an example of a subroutine that I use:
sub CopyFile($$)
{
# Accept arguments.
my $Source = shift;
my $Target = shift;
# Declare local variables.
local $_;
my $Length = 0;
my $Size = -s $Source;
unless (defined($Size) and $Size 0)

I am new to the mail list. I was looking for any examples in formatting cells
in Excel using Win32:OLE.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi all,
The following script has worked fine for a
couple of years on 5.6. Since getting my new machines and installing 5.8, it
doesn't work. It simply works for a few IPs and then just stops without errors.
Did anything change with Net-Ping? Any thoughts, ideas are greatly
appreciated...
