I am trying to run many tests launched by scripts and some of the scripts can take fair a bit of time to complete, I have noticed that HM will not launch another script until the previous has finished.
So my questions are:
- Can HM run multiple tests simultanously? (multithread)
- Can HM run multiple Script tests simultanously?
If no to any of the above will it be implemented ?
Thanks
is HM multi threaded ?
Yes, of course. HostMonitor starts every test in separate thread. Option "Don't start more than [N] tests per second" sets limit for number of threads. Option located on Behavior page in the Options dialog.So my questions are:
- Can HM run multiple tests simultanously? (multithread)
HostMonitor can. Windows cannot. Actually Windows can execute several scripts in different threads of the same process. But it does not work stable.Can HM run multiple Script tests simultanously?
That's why HostMonitor never starts several scripts in the same time.

I am using HM 6.82. I have an active script tester written by python. I met the same problem, the active script seem can't be executed simultaneously. If I use the shell script, does HM 6.82 support running multiple shell script simltaneously? or what any setting can make the active script support multithread in HM?
HostMonitor starts each Shell Script test as separate process (simultaneously when nesessary). So, there should not be any problem.
Another solution: you may put Active Scripts into some folder and use "Non-simultaneously test execution" folder level option (option located on Specials page in the Folder Properties dialog)
