net_test_hosts_ext
The script net_test_hosts_ext does net performance tests for a particular hosts set with the hosts extension hosts_ext. Please note that the hosts extension is the lowercase of the root directory from the Web presentation of the results. That root directory is specified during the installation of this hosts set. This script initialises some specific parameters for this set of hosts which are used by the script net_test(1) which handles the real net performance tests.

If you are using bash(1) your Bash shell environment can be set by execution (from crontab(1)) with the command line:
The script log_hosts_ext(1) can be used to view the log files of this script during execution.
