**Ian (PassMark)** · May-26-2010, 07:25 AM

We don't have such are repository. The help file (or User Guide) describes the scripting:
http://passmark.com/ftp/BIT_Users_Guide_Ed6_0.pdf

The Command line parameters for BurnInTest are described in the help file (or User Guide). Some additional examples are also in this document:
http://passmark.com/ftp/bitproductionline_v6.pdf

I will prepare some sample script files and post them here tomorrow.

**Ian (PassMark)** · May-27-2010, 12:29 AM

Here some sample BurnInTest scripts for BurnInTest v6.0. If other people also posted there scripts, I am sure others would find that useful.

Some of these are a little contrived to demonstrate scripting.

When multiple test runs are included in a script, it is recommended that Preferences->Logging is set to accumulate results.

The configuration files loaded in these scripts are not included, but the configurations are just created by setting an configuration and specifying File->Save Test Configuration As...

Hi,

are there meantime some more script examples available (on Burnintest 8.0)? Would be very useful. Thx

**Ian (PassMark)** · May-14-2015, 10:43 PM

The BurnInTest help file includes a description and example of all the scripting commands:
Test automation and productivity -> Scripting a series of tests

This is also included in section 10.3 of the BurnInTest user's guide:
http://www.passmark.com/ftp/BIT_Users_Guide_Ed8_0.pdf

If there is something else you need in regards to scripting, please let me know specifically what you are planning to script and I can look at adding it to the documentation.

**DPSB** · May-15-2015, 06:26 AM

I want to set the SETNOTES via bit-script-input.txt file.
But i want a word wrap between the notes.
(So i can log the serialnumbers and components in the notes)
With the preferences tab it isn't a problem, but via script i can't send a word wrap.

**Ian (PassMark)** · May-15-2015, 06:56 AM

This is not currently possible. I'll have a look at changing the script command to allow this. I'll update this post when I have more information.

**Ian (PassMark)** · May-17-2015, 11:22 PM

We will add an option to specify a new line break using "\n" in the next minor build of BurnInTest, 8.0.1043, currently due for release 22 May. e.g.
SETNOTES "line 1\nline 2\nline 3"

**Ian (PassMark)** · May-22-2015, 12:26 AM

BurnInTest 8.0.1043 is now available:
http://www.passmark.com/download/bit_download.htm

**DPSB** · Jun-17-2015, 06:23 AM

Thanks Ian,

I will try it in the next time when i upgrade.

But I have another problem with scripting.

I want to script the networktest.
In fact i want to test the nics with a internal loopback.

The Script looks like this:
#Settest to be performed
#################
SETTEST NETWORK

#SET DUTY CYCLES
#############
SETDUTYCYCLE NETWORK 85

#Configuring network test parameters
#########################
SETNETWORK ALL LOOPBACK
SETNETWORK ERROR everypacket TIMEOUT 4000
SETNETWORK BLUETOOTH no

But when i start the script it won't test network adapters.

If tried with
SETNETWORK ALL YES
but that didn't worked.

so i tried to add the ports manually
SETNETWORK ADD1 "127.0.0.1"
With this it would test the NIC but i get just errors.

When i set the parameters in the gui to loopback it would test the first nic with internal loopback.

How can i set the internal loopback test for network in the script?

Thanks for reply.

**Ian (PassMark)** · Jun-17-2015, 07:04 AM

Yes. I can confirm this looks like a bug. I will investigate further and post back here.

**Ian (PassMark)** · Jun-19-2015, 02:04 AM

We do recommend using an external test address like a router or server on your test network, rather then the internal loopback.

The ALL keyword is used for historical purposes. It allows the Standard Network test mode to be set. "TESTMODE" would now be a better keyword. In the case of the ALL LOOPBACK keywords, this will set the test mode to Loopback and Network Address 1 to 127.0.0.1 (and blank all other Network Addresses). It won't run a test of all NICs to the loopback. i.e. it works like the non-scripted version of the test.

There is a bug with "ALL LOOPBACK" in that it is blanking all the Network address's configuration, and hence the test won't run. We will release a new build of BurnInTest 8.0.1046 later this month with a correction for this.

In the meantime, you could configure the settings you need with BurnInTest Prefernces, save the configuration file, then in the script just load the configuration file and run the test.

**DPSB** · Jun-19-2015, 06:34 AM

Thanks Ian.

Yes thath would be a better test but is not always possible.
But if test with an external adress, does this also support DNS? f.e. SETNETWORK ADD1 "server"
And is it possible to set the same adress for all ports via ALL command?
f.e. SETNETWORK ALL yes ETHERNET server
So the script can automatically detect the ports and all ports are sending a ping to the same adress

**Ian (PassMark)** · Jun-19-2015, 07:14 AM

The BurnInTest standard network test will resolve a name via DNS.
You can't set the same address via the "ALL" command, as this sets the test mode. You could set it to SETNETWORK ALL YES, for all network ports. In this case, you would still need to set a network address for each NIC you want to test. e.g. for test 2 NICs:
SETNETWORK ALL YES
SETNETWORK ADD1 "<server>"
SETNETWORK ADD2 "<server>"

In this case, BurnInTest will detect all network ports and run 2 tests from NIC 1 to <server> and NIC 2 to <server>.

If you are testing with high load, I would not recommend having lots of NICs testing to the same server.

**DPSB** · Jul-01-2015, 08:23 AM

Hi Ian,

Is there a scripting or a general option to exclude some errors?
e.g. The serialports test is running, and has after 25 million operations 1 fail.
Is there a option to specify some errors? So i can say if there are less then 5 or 10 errors in the serialports test then burnintest should ignore them? (so the test can pass anyway?)
Something like SETSERIALPORTS MAXERR 5 (?) or SETSERIALPORTS ALLOW_ERR 5 ?
Thanks.

Best regards
