notify

Dear sirs,

I am using Web Polygraph to simulate load on a cache server. While the
respective polymix-n.pg file is running, there will be a seperate (my
own) process (either on the polyclt or a separate monitoring station)
running that will collect and measure load on the cache server.

Web Polygraph is ideal for this problem because it can give a fairly
realistic envionrment during which I can measure the overall load on the
cache. However, since some of the benchmarking tests can take
significant amounts of time, I was wondering if there was a way in which
Web Polygraph could signal my process when it is done. I was thinking
that perhaps the --notify paramter could work even though --notify is
used in conjunction with polymon. Any ideas?

Also, another thing I need to do is monitor the round trip time (RTT)
from polyclt, (a robot?), to the cache and then back again. I note that
in the runtime statistics there is a column (I think column 5) for the
replay rate (replies per second). How is the value derived? Is there
someplace where I can analyze what the single reply rate was? Also, is
the reply rate done in consistent intervals, or do they just do another
request after the completion of the previous request.

Thanks, Lynn
