greetings
would someone please point me to an excellent server exercising, stressing, and/or testing program that will run on centos 4?
i want one that will not out and out destroy a machine so to speak...
...meaning testing is one thing, yet pounding a box in the hard drive department over and above the cause or unnecessarily does not appeal to me.
fyi the box i want to test/stress this time is a compaq dl380 with 2 gig ram and 4 drives in raid5 for simple internet services
thanks and kind regards,

It might be useful if you specify what aspects of the box you want to test.
CPU? RAM? Disk?
You mentioned disk, but is that all that you want to test?

i wish to test it all, everything, just not ummm extremely violently in terms of hard drive(s).
so, if the hard drive testing part is ultimately configurable that would be great... i just dont feel like pounding the drives for hours and hours
ummmmmmmmmm what are people using in this area?
i am familiar with memtest and some of the other small stuff yet i am looking for practical list wisdom on this whole scenartio.
thanks!

I've actually had pretty good luck with this little script:

It's not *too* hard on the disks, although that part isn't configurable.

The ultimate boot cd: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
It has various utilities that will test the RAM, the motherboard, the disks... For some it uses Linux, for some DR-DOS.
and there is the old: Norton Utilities with the loopback plugs for verifying the serial and parallel ports.

Also, 5 minutes of search got me hammerhead and stress which are both available from Dag's repository and are built for EL4.
