forkbomb is tool for stress testing. It can create many processes
|
|
using fork(), bring up some zombies, 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 and QA release testing, 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.
