Recently I tried to use a benchmark script I’d used previously for a quick check of VPS CPU, Disk and Network. However, it’s no longer online. As a result I wanted to keep a list of scripts and tools for benchmarking Linux servers. Submit suggestions.
Use at your own risk! Always verify before running. If you find any broken scripts or issues please notifiy me.
Bench Scripts
Bench Command line Apps
bench.sh
https://bench.sh – view system information and test the network, disk of your Linux server.
$ wget -qO- bench.sh | bash
nench
https://github.com/n-st/nench – A script loosely based on the established freevps.us/bench.sh.
$ (curl -s wget.racing/nench.sh | bash; curl -s wget.racing/nench.sh | bash) 2>&1 | tee nench.log
