Is there a similar burn-testing app that I can run on OpenBSD to test

I should have mentioned that there will be a prize* for the most
creative suggestion.
What about simply using stress from ports?
This turned out to be the simplest suggestion, and therefore wins a
special prize*. What I actually did in the end was:
for x in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
do
stress --cpu 12 --io 8 --vm 4 --hdd 4 --timeout 14400
sleep 60
echo "Test: $x: completed `date`" | mail -s "stress test $x"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
sleep 60
done
The sleep 60 lets the load drop back to normal, so the MTA will accept
connections again, then it gives it 60 seconds to deliver the email
before it kicks off again. Repeat that every 4 hours for the next four
days.
