DESCRIPTION

Stressant is a simple yet complete stress-testing tool that forces a computer to perform a series of test using well-known Linux software in order to detect possible design or construction failures.

OPTIONS

EXAMPLES

Small run load with defaults: 

stressant


Very fast test, useful to run if you are worried about crashing the machine:

stressant --fileSize 1M --cpuBurnTime 1s --iperfTime 1


Extensive test with complete disk wipe and SMART long test:

sudo stressant --diskPercent 100% --overwrite --cpuBurnTime 24h --smart
# wait for the prescribed time, then show the SMART test results:
sudo smartctl -l selftest


Network test only on dedicated server:

stressant --no-information --no-cpu --no-disk --iperfServer iperf.example.net


Send test results by email:

stressant --email person@example.com


If the mail server refuses mail from your location, you can use another relay (password will be prompted):

stressant --email person@example.com --smtpserver submission.example.net --smtpuser person --smtppassword
