testing gargs

READMD.md

Trying to see if we can get mixing of output. We pipe to uniq and then check that we get the same number of lines of output as input (each call to t.py produces many of the same lines so they should all get uniqed to 1.

seq 1 20 | ./gargs -p 10 "python t.py {}" | uniq | awk '{ print substr($0, 0, 10) }'

The N lines of of "1|1|1|..." or "2|2|2..." based on the sys.argv[1] where N is chosen randomly and we have random ints between each line.

t.py

import sys
import random
import time

char = sys.argv[1]

slen = 2000

# print out a unique string (of length slen) based on input. e.g. 2222222222222222...
O = "|".join([char] * slen)


# for a random number of times
for i in range(random.randint(5, 20)):

    # sleep random amount
    time.sleep(random.randint(0, 5))
    print O
    sys.stdout.flush()
