[Linux] Stress test
By merkator, 14 years ago, translation, In English
Today I tried to write a stress test on my solution in Linux (Ubuntu). In Windows I wrote batch file. How should I write a stress test in Linux?

I will be glad if you write any solution.

You can use script written in Bash.
You need to create a file (for example stress.sh), insert script inside and then make it executable from the command line with the following command:
chmod +x stress.sh
After all you can run it as: ./stress.sh
The script stops when output files differ.
You can use your own checker instead of diff, it should return exit code 0 if everything is ok and non-0 otherwise.
If you need more info on bash syntax you can always use: man bash :)
