AUTOBENCHD(1)AUTOBENCHD(1)NAMEautobenchd - distributed autobench daemon
SYNOPSISautobenchd [--port port] [--bindaddr bindaddr] [--verbose] [--debug]
DESCRIPTIONautobenchd listens on the port and IP address specified on the command
line (defaulting to port 4600 and INADDR_ANY if the command line
options are omitted), and waits for commands from autobench_admin.
When it receives these commands, it conducts a benchmark using httperf
with the arguments specified by autobench_admin, parses the httperf
results and returns a summary to autobench_admin. autobench_admin col‐
lates the results from several instances of autobenchd running on dif‐
ferent machines, and writes the collated results to a file for analy‐
sis.
OPTIONS--port port
Listen on port port. Defaults to 4600 if omitted.
--bindaddr bindaddr
Bind to the address bindaddr, which may be given as either an IP
address or hostname. INADDR_ANY may be specified as `0.0.0.0´.
Defaults to INADDR_ANY if omitted.
--verbose
Enable verbose output, which logs progress to stderr (perhaps
--speak would be a better name, since autobenchd is completely
silent in normal operation).
--debug
Send additional debugging output to stderr, including the raw
results returned by httperf.
EXAMPLEautobenchd--port 1234 --bindaddr 123.123.123.213 --verbose
Starts autobenchd on port 1234, bound to 123.123.123.213, with
progress reporting enabled.
