Whats the syntax for a linux command that hits a URL repeatedly, x number of times. I don't need to do anything with the data, I just need to replicate hitting refresh 20 times in a browser.

The solution to this is to use the xargs command as shown alongside the curl command. The -P flag denotes the number of requests in parallel. The section <(printf '%s\n' {1.. 10}) prints out the numbers 1 – 10 and causes the curl command to run 10 times with 5 requests running in parallel.
The syntax for the curl command is as follows: curl [options] [URL...] In its simplest form, when invoked without any option, curl displays the specified resource to the standard output. The command will print the source code of the example.com homepage in your terminal window.
cURL, which stands for client URL, is a command line tool that developers use to transfer data to and from a server. At the most fundamental, cURL lets you talk to a server by specifying the location (in the form of a URL) and the data you want to send.
You could use URL sequence substitution with a dummy query string (if you want to use CURL and save a few keystrokes):
curl http://www.myurl.com/?[1-20] If you have other query strings in your URL, assign the sequence to a throwaway variable:
curl http://www.myurl.com/?myVar=111&fakeVar=[1-20] Check out the URL section on the man page: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html

for i in `seq 1 20`; do curl http://url; done Or if you want to get timing information back, use ab:
ab -n 20 http://url/ If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
