A simple utility for randomly generating success and failure return codes.
This utility program is meant to be used when developing other programs that call subprocesses.
crash-and-burn [flags]All flags are optional.
| Flag(s) | Description |
|---|---|
-f, --set-fail |
Set the percentage of a specified failure return code, The format is rc,percentage. This flag can be set multiple times. Return codes must be between 1 and 255 and percentages must be between 1 and 100. If multiple failure sets aggregate above 100%, then subsequent failure sets will be ignored that are outside the 100%. This means if we have three sets, -f 1,40 -f 2,60 -f 3,40 then only -f 1,40 and -f 2,60 will be used as return codes. As well, if we have -f 1,40 -f 2,70 then RC 1 will have a 40% chance and RC 2 will have a 60% chance, ignoring the original 70% value provided. |
-s, --sleep |
Set the sleep time in seconds (must be greater or equal to 0) (default: random value between 0-10 seconds) |
-V, --verbose |
Enable verbose output |
