URL list

Post by AndFulg »

Hi all,

I am a newbie trying to understand virtualbox, and doing some load tests on my router at the same time.
A friend built a setup in virtualbox with an alpine linux machine, for me to test my device.
It consists of, running the virtual machine, and then that machine runs a .sh file that chooses a random URL from a .txt file with a list of 50 different URL's.
The machine then, curl's that URL, and then, it repeats the process periodically.
The files are all in a share folder, which is already configured as share folder for that VM on virtualBox.
The goal is to emulate a normal user internet traffic with some ups and downs.

The problem here is that i need to change these URL's, but for some reason, just editing the .txt file isn't working. The logs keep showing the VM using the old URL's (that i already erased from the file).

Not sure if the description is clear enough.
Does any of you use the same scenario? have any idea of what I'm doing wrong?


Thank you,
Regards.

Could this be related to a cache anywhere on my computer?

Without your script etc etc. I don't think anyone can say much intelligent.
