samba - Jul 1999 - CONTRIB: crash_samba

I just wrote this little script that makes concurrent
connections to a samba or NT server.

It connects to a service and does a dir.
This may be useful if you want to check the resources
of your server.
Configure it changing the vars at the begining.


In my tests I compared two computers,  NT vs samba-2.0.3
NT was much faster. 50 concurrent connections, 10 commands issued.

NT-4.0 SP4 Ppro 166 , 256 MB RAM
elapsed:   0:6.7

Linux-2.0.6 Pentium II 300, 128 MB RAM
elapsed 0:31.8

I wrote a second one that tells you how is the load
and memory. It may not work in another OSes that are
not linux , but it's small and should be easy to port.
It works reading uptime and the second line of /proc/meminfo

        total:    used:    free:  shared: buffers:  cached:
Mem:  131448832 127242240  4206592 22233088 14864384 62238720

I guess the real used memory is:
used_mem=total-free-buffers-cached


#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

while (1) {
        my ($load)=`uptime`=~/age:\s+(\S+),/;
        print "$load\t";
        open MEM ,"</proc/meminfo" or die $!;
        <MEM>;
        $_=<MEM>;
        my @mem=split;
        print $mem[1]-$mem[3]-$mem[5]-$mem[6];
        print "\n";
        sleep 1;
}
