BOMBARDMENT(1)		      bombardment v3.1.3		BOMBARDMENT(1)

NAME
       bombardment - Run Siege with an ever-increasing number of users

SYNOPSIS
       bombardment  [urlfile]  [initial	 number	 of clients] [increment value]
       [number of increments] [delay]"
       bombardment urlfile.txt 5 10 20 1

DESCRIPTION
       bombardment is part of the Siege package.  It calls siege with an  ini‐
       tial  number  of clients.  When that run finishes, it immediately calls
       siege again with that number of clients plus the	 increment.   It  does
       this the number of times specified in the fourth argument.

OPTIONS
       urlfile
	      The  name	 of  the file containing one or more URLs for siege to
	      test.

       initial number of clients
	      The number of clients to be used on the first Siege run.

       increment value
	      The number of clients to add from run to run.

       number of increments
	      The number of times to run siege.

       delay  The is the amount of time, in seconds,  that  each  client  will
	      wait  between requests.  The Siege default of 3 is overridden by
	      bombardment and is 15.

NOTES
       bombardment can very easily overcome  process  and  filehandle  limits.
       Siege  DOES give a warning if it is going to exceed 600 concurrent pro‐
       cesses.	See your system documentation (or try ulimit -a) for  informa‐
       tion on the limits of your system before using a high number of concur‐
       rent users.
