StressTest

[Ilias bankai]

Hello All,

Is there a way to allocate memory with a ruby script?

I want to create a script that allocate a certain amount of memory and
use it to stress test our Citrix servers.


I have 40 test accounts. All these account can login concurrent to a
Citrix server. During the login I want to fire up the Ruby script for
each user that allocates 350 MB per session.

Any help /guidance is much appreciated.

Platform:
Windows 2003 SP2 (64-bit)
ruby -v (ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patch level 111) [i386-mswin32])


Kind Regards,


iLias

ruby -e '"x" * 350_000_000'

ruby -e '"x" * 350_000_000'

It is true that OP did not state it, but somehow I guess that he does
not want the memory to be released.
In that case add a gets to Robert's one liner
"x" * 350_000_000 ; gets
HTH

Exactly, I don't want the memory to be released (for a while)

("x" * 350_000_000 ; gets) works perfect!!
