dohell accepts the following options:

-b

runs the hackbench test repetitively during the run-time of the dohell script;

-s

run nc to continuously send data to a server through network;

-p

if -s is used, specificy the port to which to send data, if not specified, port 9 (aka discard) is used;

-m <path>

run dd to write data to the <path> directory;

-l <path>

mutually exclusive with <duration>; the dohell script runs during two runs of the LTP script runalltests.sh found in the <path> directory;

<duration>

mutually exclusive with -l; run dohell for the given duration in seconds.
