NAME

runtimeestimator — Batch Job Runtime Estimator

SYNOPSIS

runtimeestimator [start_file] [total_runs] [current_run]

DESCRIPTION

runtimeestimator is a simple program to estimate the total runtime of a batch job consisting of multiple runs. Upon initialisation, it initialises a start file with a time stamp. Each time a run is completed, it prints out the estimated total runtime.

ARGUMENTS

The following arguments have to be provided:

start_file: The name of the start file.
total_runs: The total number of runs.
current_run: The current run number that has just been completed.

EXAMPLES

Some netperfmeter usage examples:

runtimeestimator runtime.dat 100 0: Initialize runtime estimation (i.e. before the first run). The start file "runtime.dat" is created.
runtimeestimator runtime.dat 100 1: Completed run 1 of 100 (i.e. the first run).
runtimeestimator runtime.dat 100 5: Completed run 5 of 100.
runtimeestimator runtime.dat 100 100: Completed run 100 of 100 (i.e. all runs are complete).
