It is saying new tab opened in same session and opening each url in new tab. But as per the script it should kill the browser and launch for each url.

If am going in a wrong way please correct because i am not > expert in shell and commands. "going in a wrong way" is pretty vague. You indicated the task was to test "this site's crawling abilities". Your test does not stress the site's crawling abilities. That task basically boils down to your Internet connection speed. > Also is there any books which can i refer for these types of stuff. If you keep watching you might figure out Chris F.A. Johnson is pretty knowledgeable and has published a book. http://cfajohnson.com/shell/ > Right now i am going with some shell scripting books. I suggest book marking http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html The bash scripting is pretty easy to learn. What makes it more powerful is calling other programs to the heavy lifting. You learning which program to use for a specific task is what is going to make you a better script coder.

The above script is what I used to verify that it works. You need to change firefox to whatever browser you are using. |
