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.

Bench Scripts

• Bench.sh
• Nench
• VPSbench
• VPS Benchmark
• Linux Bench
• Bench-sh-2
• unixbench.sh

Bench Command line Apps

• Unixbench
• Fio
• Sysbench
• Bonnie
• S
• Phoronix Test Suite
• Geekbench
• vdbench
• IOzone
• Iometer
• Interbench
• HDparm
• DD

bench Scripts

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
