  • Running PerformanceTest CLI in background on Linux

    Hello,

    Is it possible to run pt_linux_x64 in the background in a Linux command-line environment? For example, I am trying the following command (notice the & at the end to make it run in the background):

    ./pt_linux_x64 -d 1 -i 1 -r 1 &

    After I run this, I see it listed in the output of "ps aux", but it is stopped, and it never actually starts running and never returns, and the log file is never created.

    My goal is to create an automated test where I can kick off pt_inux_x64 on multiple hardware systems at the same time, and wait for each one to finish running, and then take a copy of the log file once it has finished running. Without having it run in the background, I am stuck waiting for each one to finish running before I can start running it on the next hardware system.

    Not currently, we added the '-bg' parameter to allow running PT Linux in the background. You can download here:

    Let us know if there are any issues.

      Thank you very much! This -bg option appears to be working well so far. Any chance that this might get incorporated into a future standard release?

      Note that there were some extra characters at the end of the URL, resulting in a 404 error. I've corrected it in the quote message, in case it may be of use to anyone else.
