The Benchmark Module

##Benchmark The benchmark module provides an easy way to time how long your Ruby code takes to run. In this example, I will use the bm method to generate sequential reports with labels.

This bit of code compares two different ways to concatenate strings. It times how long it takes to concatenate a period at the end of a string of 10,000 a's, one million times in a row. The label for the each test is passed into the report method.

require 'benchmark'

Benchmark.bm do |x|
 # Test for concatenation with +=

Opening and closing an SSH tunnel in a shell script the smart way

Opening and closing an SSH tunnel in a shell script the smart way

I recently had the following problem:

  • From an unattended shell script (called by Jenkins), run a command-line tool that accesses the MySQL database on another host.
  • That tool doesn't know that the database is on another host, plus the MySQL port on that host is firewalled and not accessible from other machines.

We didn't want to open the MySQL port to the network, but it's possible to SSH from the Jenkins machine to the MySQL machine. So, basically you would do something like

ssh -L 3306:localhost:3306 remotehost
