Benchmarky Linux Server Benchmark

What is it?

This tool is a lightweight benchmarking script made for testing CPU, Disk (HDD or SSD) and Bandwidth performance in Linux servers. The tool is composed of simple and trusted open-source benchmarking suites.

What will it do?

This benchmark will:

• Download and install packages necessary to run benchmark test (don't worry, it will clean up after)
• Download and run Unixbench, Disk and/or Bandwidth tests
• Upload tests results over to Benchmarky.com to see how it stacks up against others

How to run script

To start benchmarking simply access your server's terminal and run: (First replace the sections enclosed in apostrophe marks (') with your details. Please make sure to provide correct email since we'll send results to it after it is finished.)
