Phoronix: Phoronix Test Suite 5 Advances With Next Dev Release

Will it be possible to benchmark servers with PTS 5? ie. no X install.

I'm the NickZ, thanks for the shoutout.

BTW, If you want to run the gui, make sure to close your webbrowsers first, because otherwise will instead attach to the current browser process and return, ending the PTS process.

That's always been possible going back to PTS 0.1 to benchmark servers or non-X environments.

Great work, thanks for the changes thus far! In Chrome, multiple windows should be handled okay i believe due to its "--app=" switch. Unfortunately there isn't the app/kiosk mode so the only other way to workaround it would likely be for in the launcher script to get the process ID and just keep waiting until that process dies.
