Simple benchmark script using sysstat programs (monitors memory, io and cpu core usage)

benchmark.sh

#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p ~/log 
LOGINTERVAL=$1
PROGRAM=$2
mpstat -P ALL $LOGINTERVAL > ~/log/mpstat.log 2>/dev/null &

iostat sda $LOGINTERVAL  > ~/log/iostat.log 2>/dev/null &
IOSTAT_PID=$!
sar -r $LOGINTERVAL > ~/log/memory.log 2>/dev/null &
SAR_PID=$!
sleep 60
eval $PROGRAM
sleep 60
kill $MPSTAT_PID
kill $IOSTAT_PID
