Re: Periodic Run and Logging Results ?

[Kevin Gibbs <kgibbs --at-- ncsa.uiuc.edu>]

Tanya was correct about the running every X seconds/minutes. As for the 
logging to a file that is only supported on windows and was really only 
designed for running as a daemon in server mode. A easy way to do it would 
be to use: iperf [options] > results.txt

That will overwite results.txt if it is already there. If you use:
iperf [options] >> results.txt

then it should append to the end of the file.
