Environmental Variables

Environmental Variables

TEST_RESULTS_NAME

When this variable is set, the value will be used as the name for automatically saving the test results.

TEST_RESULTS_IDENTIFIER

When this variable is set, the value will be used as the test identifier when automatically saving the test results.

PRESET_OPTIONS

For setting any test option(s) from an environmental variable rather than being prompted for the options when running a test. Example: PRESET_OPTIONS="stream.run-type=Add" ./phoronix-test-suite benchmark stream

SKIP_TESTS

If there are any test(s) to exempt from the testing process, specify them in this variable. Multiple tests can be waived by delimiting each test identifier by a comma. A test hardware type (i.e. Graphics) can also be supplied for skipping a range of tests.

PTS_DEBUG

When this variable is set, some additional debugging information will be printed when running some Phoronix Test Suite commands.

PTS_MODULE_SETUP

This variable can be used to load Phoronix Test Suite module settings automatically when using the module-setup option. An example would be: PTS_MODULE_SETUP="phoromatic.remote_host=http://www.phoromatic.com/; phoromatic.remote_account=123456; phoromatic.remote_verifier=ABCD" phoronix-test-suite module-setup phoromatic.

PTS_MODULES

If there are any Phoronix Test Suite modules to additionally load, they can be specified here. Multiple modules can be supplied by delimiting them with a comma. The more appropriate way of loading Phoronix Test Suite modules for longer periods of time is by using the ~/.phoronix-test-suite/user-config.xml configuration.

NO_PHODEVI_CACHE

This is a debugging option to disable the Phodevi cache from being loaded of cached software/hardware information. Instead, all software/hardware will be polled from the Phodevi library without caching.

PTS_DISPLAY_MODE

If you wish to load a non-default display mode for a single instance, specify the mode in this variable.

TOTAL_LOOP_TIME

When running any test(s), if you would like the test(s) to continue running as a loop until a certain time has been reached, this variable can be used. The value should be the number of minutes to run the testing process before the loop is ended.

TOTAL_LOOP_COUNT

When running any test(s), if you would like the test(s) to continue running for a number of times, this variable can be used. The value should be the number of times to loop the testing process before ending.

FORCE_TIMES_TO_RUN

If you wish to override the number of times to run each test -- rather than the Phoronix Test Suite using the number of times specified in each test profile -- this variable can be used.

NO_MD5_CHECKS

To disable MD5 check-sums from being used when downloading test files, set this variable to 1.

PTS_DOWNLOAD_CACHE

While non-standard Phoronix Test Suite download caches can be specified within the user-config.xml file, an additional directory to look for potential Phoronix Test Suite download files can be specified by this variable.

GRAPH_HIGHLIGHT

If this variable is set with a valid test identifer from a result file whether you are using the refresh-graphs command or any other related to the rendering of test results on a bar graph, the specified test identifier's result will be highlighted in a different color than the other rendered test results. Multiple identifiers can be specified when delimited by a comma.

VIDEO_MEMORY

If Phodevi fails to detect the system's video memory capacity or is incorrectly detected, the video memory capacity (in MB) can be specified by this variable.

OVERRIDE_VIDEO_MODES

If Phodevi fails to detect all of the system's monitor video modes or a separate set of modes would be preferred, the modes can be specified in this variable. Example: OVERRIDE_VIDEO_MODES=800x600,1024x768,1280x1024 phoronix-test-suite benchmark nexuiz.

DEFAULT_VIDEO_MODE

If Phodevi fails to detect the system's monitor standard / default resolution, the mode can be specified in this variable. Example: DEFAULT_VIDEO_MODE=1680x1050 phoronix-test-suite benchmark nexuiz.
