NAME

     runtimeestimator — Batch Job Runtime Estimator

SYNOPSIS

     runtimeestimator [start_file] [total_runs] [current_run]

DESCRIPTION

     runtimeestimator is a simple program to estimate the total runtime of a batch job consisting
     of multiple runs. Upon initialisation, it initialises a start file with a time stamp. Each
     time a run is completed, it prints out the estimated total runtime.

ARGUMENTS

     The following arguments have to be provided:

     start_file
             The name of the start file.

     total_runs
             The total number of runs.

     current_run
             The current run number that has just been completed.

EXAMPLES

     Some netperfmeter usage examples:

     runtimeestimator runtime.dat 100 0
             Initialize runtime estimation (i.e. before the first run). The start file
             "runtime.dat" is created.

     runtimeestimator runtime.dat 100 1
             Completed run 1 of 100 (i.e. the first run).

     runtimeestimator runtime.dat 100 5
             Completed run 5 of 100.

     runtimeestimator runtime.dat 100 100
             Completed run 100 of 100 (i.e. all runs are complete).
