In shutting down - there were still some processes continuing - but I was not really paying attention - so didn't really spot what they related to. However I suspect these might have been ongoing phoronix processes. I need to run it again and look at kysguard initially to see if phoronix is running
I looked at this again - and on shutdown there were 2 or 3 php processes that needed to be killed - so I suspect these were phoronix processes. I tried again and phoronix-test-suite produced the following:
/usr/bin/phoronix-test-suite: line 133: 3248 Killed $PHP_BIN pts-core/phoronix-test-suite.php $@ - before returning to the prompt.
After having looked at a Ubuntu forum entry for installing and using phoronix-test-suite - i entered the following:
bash-4.3$ phoronix-test-suite list-available-tests
and again the prompt returned with:
/usr/bin/phoronix-test-suite: line 133: 3248 Killed $PHP_BIN pts-core/phoronix-test-suite.php $@
but at least the process finished in an orderly fashion.
Line 133 of the /usr/bin/phoronix-test-suite file is the "done" line of the following sequence of code:
- Code: Select all
# Run The Phoronix Test Suite
PTS_EXIT_STATUS=8
while [ $PTS_EXIT_STATUS -eq 8 ]; do
$PHP_BIN pts-core/phoronix-test-suite.php $@
PTS_EXIT_STATUS=$?
done
if [ -f $HOME/.phoronix-test-suite/web-server-launcher ]
then
chmod +x $HOME/.phoronix-test-suite/web-server-launcher
exec $HOME/.phoronix-test-suite/web-server-launcher
rm -f $HOME/.phoronix-test-suite/web-server-launcher
fi
fi is the last line of the file. I'm no php programmer but I do understand that the reason for the "Kill" line may not be the line pointed at or even the last one one highlighted. So I suspect something other than 8 is being returned in the line: PTS_EXIT_STATUS=$?
However, please don't spend too much time on this - as it was only a cursory "look-see" what Linux had to offer after a friend asked how he could examine the performance of his Intel system running Windows. The "Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool" seems to do the job for the CPU on that OS and I was curious to see what the proper OS had to offer.
