forkbomb is tool for stress testing. It can create many processes using fork(),
|
|
allocate memory using realloc() and accesses this memory. It has
|
|
different switches for fine-tuning operation. While classic fork() bomb is good
|
|
only for fun, running multiple memory-eaters can be useful for determining
|
|
maximum memory which can be given to servers (bind or squid) without taking
|
|
machine down. You can test different operation systems with this tool and see
|
|
how they are handling the load.
