Howdy monks. I'm trying to benchmark syslogd on my loghost. I've created a shell script to do this, but I really want to beat the machine up. With Perl, can I use fork to increase the number of messages sent to syslogd (Within limits of course. The current script sends 3000 per minute)? I have never used fork before. As seen below, I am using the logger command to interact with syslogd. Thanks in advance.
#!/bin/sh
start=`date "+%M:%S"`
x=0
trap 'echo "";
echo "started at $start";
echo "finished at `date "+%M:%S"`";
echo "sent $x messages";
echo "found `grep TEST_MESSAGE /var/log/messages | wc -l` messag
+es";
exit' 2
while()
do
logger -p syslog.notice TEST_MESSAGE_$x
x=`expr $x + 1`
echo sent $x
done

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
