- Installs with 1 runtime dependencies.
Recommended review
Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.

| Caveats | macOS has only 16K ports available that won't be released until socket TIME_WAIT is passed. The default timeout for TIME_WAIT is 15 seconds. Consider reducing in case of available port bottleneck. You can check whether this is a problem with netstat: # sysctl net.inet.tcp.msl net.inet.tcp.msl: 15000 # sudo sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.msl=1000 net.inet.tcp.msl: 15000 -> 1000 Run siege.config to create the ~/.siegerc config file. |
