Not sure if this is the right area for this post so please forgive me.. Would anyone know if there are any tools or applications that can be run on a website that would simulate one or more users using the site? Anything that can be run on a Shared Host? Maybe even free tools? LOL I "think" this tool or app may be called a "load" tester? right?

Thanks

You want to see your server load? AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > AdminCP Options

Show panel quick stats - Set to yes

then go to yousite.com/admincp/index.php

Not quite.. I have an addon that has a cron job and I'm trying to determine if the cron job is executing a script more than it should or if there is something in the script that is quirky.
I was hoping to find an application that would let me load up a site and simulate a bunch of users using the site and have it do random clicks kind of like a bot. Again this is only for testing purposes. If there is another solution or another way to debug this, I'm open to suggestions.

Never thought of running something like this. That's a brilliant way to test your site. Hopefully someone comes up with something. I'd like such a thing too.

If I had the time I would try to write the application if one doesn't already exist. However, at the moment I've got so much on my play with other projects I've started plus taking a .NET course I'm booked up.

Did some searching and found something called BrowserMob that looks like its down the path of what you are looking for. Just unsure how far it travels down the various paths weaving through your website.

Interesting site, but I don't think that would do it. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Thinking of Apache Benchmark?

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/ab.html

Code:

ab -n 1000 http://www.yoursite.com/

Unfortunately, I don't think that's quite it either. I was thinking of some type of gui that can be run on Windows.

That would spawn various threads that would simulate multiple visitors. I don't know.. I'm probably talking out of my rear.. LOL
