Re: site is live

I used 'ab' to test my site.  The Apache Benchmark program.  I'm not sure
if this comes with apache, but it was already on my machine (Red Hat 6.0
with custom compiled apache).  Mine was in /usr/sbin.  I used these
options:
ab -n 150 -c 30 -v http://www.myhost.com/cgi-bin/pcx/noframes

-k is the keepalive option, you probably don't want to use this if you are
trying to simulate many different users.  -c 30 is 30 concurrent
connections.  If you have 30 concurrent connections to your site, there is
probably well over 100 people viewing it at one time.  -n is the number of
requests to do.
