Minimalistic file load generator and HAFileAdapter tester

I need to copy over and over the same file (with different file names) to a shared SAMBA folder, to test HAFileAdater in a cluster.

Minimalistic approach, a shell script:

for i in {1..10}
do
    cp myfile.xml target/myfile${i}.xml
done

but when it comes to sleeping, sleep in shell takes only a parameter in SECONDS (no milliseconds). Pathetic.

Why some people use Shell script to do anything more than really basic stuff, I will never understand. Probably they started their career 20 years ago with Shell scripting and they never weaned off.

So I do the same in Python:

import shutil
import time
i = 1
while i < 100:
    shutil.copyfile('myfile.xml', 'target/myfile' + str(i) + '.xml'
    i = i + 1
    time.sleep(0.01)

Here is a JCA file poller.... just change FileAdapter into HAFileAdapter in the JCA file, and the source folder, and add a Report action to trace the file name ($inbound/ctx:transport/ctx:request/tp:headers/jca:jca.file.FileName ) here is $inbound :
