External program tests.

[fve]

I have 150 test running at every 10 minuets. this way.

This is the call:
Externalcall 10.10.10.1 test1
Externalcall 10.10.10.2 test1
Externalcall 10.10.10.3 test1

Return is: 0 == ok == true/ all other return values is false

When running, all the programs start at same time (or very close to it), there can be some problems at the end of the run. Sometimes the status is not correct.

That will say we dealing with some false positive.

It is not the external program there fall. If making the test manually it returns the right value.

Can there be some problem or other things, dealing with too many external programs calls in your program???

Two suggestions:
1. Enable "Non-simultaneously test execution" for the folders, where these programs are placed. With this option enabled tests that located in the folder will not be executed at the same time. Test items located in different folders may be executed simultaneously even in case option is set for all of these folders. Option is useful when you need to call some non-reentrant application/script. Option is folder specific and is accessible by right-clicking on certain folder, selecting "Properties" from popup and selecting "Specials" tab.

2. Try to decrease "Don't start more than [N] tests per second" option located in "Options" -> "Behaviour" tab. HostMonitor is multi-threaded so it can test many hosts simultaneously. This parameter defines how many tests per second the program will start.
