To stress test the CPU, RAM and disks (well, mostly disk access), my personal favorite is what a co-worker, UNIX guru showed me. Set up the following shell scripts and run 5-20 (or more) copies of each of them depending on the size of your hardware.
Script 1 ----------------------- #!/bin/sh # Comment in and out according to your HW # For SCSI cp /dev/sda /dev/null #For IDE cp /dev/hda /dev/null ----------------------- Script 2 ----------------------- #!/bin/sh find / | cpio -o | compress > /dev/null # replace "compress" with "gzip" or "bzip2" if you like ----------------------- In the past, I usually run more of script2 then script1 so that memory and CPU get eaten up fairly well. Throwing in a linux kernel source compile wouldn't hurt either. Note: you may have to tune up your system to have these scripts run well; see http://linuxperf.nl.linux.org or other Linux performance tuning site For network you can add some copying to or from NFS or samba filesystems or use something like iperf or ttcp (correct name?).
