Run mutiple program with looping simultaneously

[chrissel]

Hai all. I'm newbie to AutoIt. I'm using AutoIt to test system performance which I want to stress the system.

I wanted to run this script on multiple window which will query over 60000 data.

I use While loop for the script to query data. What I want is actually to run the loop in multiple window at the same time.

Before the loop in 1st window finish I need to make the other window also running the loop without exiting the loop in 1st window.

I'm planning to stress the system with running 10 window simultaneously. Could anyone help me with this?

Run("telnet x.x.x.x")
WinWaitActive("Telnet x.x.x.x") 
WinSetTitle("Telnet x.x.x.x","","Admin1");set different title for each 10 window

WinActivate("Admin1")
WinWaitActive("Admin1")

$next = 0
while $next <= 500
    $next = $next + 1 ;go to the next data using 'Next' function in the system
    Send("{ENTER}")
WEnd

are you wanting to stress a server? I hope it's your server, otherwise this could be construed as malicious.

best method would be to use an array, that way you can use the same code for each instance of telnet and keep it rather simple.

and instead of a while loop use a for loop, alot easier to deal with sequential values.

that's as much as I'm going to say until your intentions are a little clearer.

Thanks nekkutta for the reply.

My bad that my post is not that understandable. T_T

Actually, I'm planning to stress a system to check its performance.

I don't really get what do you mean by using an array? Is it something like putting all the command inside the array?

Please correct me if I'm wrong. It's more better if you can post me a simple code to help me understand.

I don't know how to help u with ur program, but an array is using one variable with numbers instead of using lots of variables

eg.

Test[0] = 4

Test[1] = a

This is an array.

Welcome to the forum.

Try something like this:

;open and set different title for each 10 window
For $i = 1 To 10
    Run("telnet x.x.x.x")
    WinWait("Telnet x.x.x.x")
    WinSetTitle("Telnet x.x.x.x", "", "Admin" & $i)
    WinWait("Admin" & $i)
Next

For $ii = 1 To 500
    For $i = 1 To 10
        WinActivate("Admin" & $i)
        WinWaitActive("Admin" & $i)
        Send("{ENTER}")
    Next
Next
