Stress Test shell script

I'm attaching a script I wrote to stress-test an Orion server.  It should run unchanged on a typical Linux environment.  It expects a userlist.txt file, which contains id:password pairs, one per line.

To create random users, I use curl to log into my Orion instance as admin (this is described on the server admin guide) and use the following one-liner:

for (( c=1; c<=10000; c++ )) do a=$(./generate-rand-string.sh); b=$(./generate-rand-string.sh); echo "$a@${b}.com:abcde123" >> userlist.txt; echo "$a@${b}.com"; curl -b curl_cookies.txt -d "login=$a@{$b}.com" -d "password=abcde123" http://localhost/users; done

The above line also creates the userlist.txt file expected by the stress-test script.  generate-rand-string.sh is nothing more than a script that generates 12 bytes of random alphanumeric goodness.
