💣 BOMBARDMENT(1) 💣

ok so this is the bombardment page from the siege2csv manual section — yes bestie, that's the manual name, we're moving on 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

bombardment — run siege with an ever-increasing number of users 🔥

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bombardment [urlfile] [clients] [increment] [trials] [delay]
bombardment urls.txt 5 10 20 1

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so bombardment is literally part of the siege distribution, no cap. it calls siege with an initial number of clients. then when that run finishes, it immediately calls siege again with that number of clients plus the increment. iconic escalation behaviour ✨

and it does this the number of times specified in the fourth argument. periodt. 💅

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • urlfile — the name of the file holding one or more URLs for siege to test 🦋
  • clients — the initial number of clients used on the first run 👑
  • increment — how many clients get added to each ensuing run 🍓
  • trials — the number of times to run siege ⭐
  • delay — the amount of time, in seconds, that each client will wait between requests. heads up: the siege default gets overridden by bombardment 💀
