You're probably thinking of CTCS, which can be found at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/va-ctcs I have an rpm that just packages up the tarball and extracts it into a directory we use here at work. It's a rather ugly rpm and I'm not sure I want it out in the wild (; The nice thing about CTCS, is that it builds itself the first time you run it, so the package can kinda be noarch, but I'm not sure how/if CTCS works on say ia64 or whatnot. Anywho, the "newburn" script inside the tarball will continuously run a bunch of tests and "burn" the hardware in, giving you a running count of how long the burnin has been running. A good 24 hour burn is a nice measurement as to if the system is stable or not. If you _do_ do something like this, be sure that if it fails on a new kernel, that it doesn't fail on an older kernel as well. CTCS has a tendency to bring hardware issues to the surface that may not show up with just day to day useage. This goes for other stress testers as well. -- Jesse Keating RHCE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedoralegacy.org) Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?
