Need Script to Use CPUs on a HPUX server to simulate Workload Manager on HPUX.

I am running HPUX and using WLM (workload manager). I want to write a script to fork CPUs to basically take CPUs from other servers to show that the communication is working and CPU licensing is working. Basically, I want to build a script that will use up CPU on a server. Any ideas?

NAME

       profil - execution time profile

SYNOPSIS

       #include <unistd.h>

       int profil(unsigned short *buf, size_t bufsiz,
		  size_t offset, unsigned int scale);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       profil():
	   Since glibc 2.21:
	       _DEFAULT_SOURCE
	   In glibc 2.19 and 2.20:
	       _DEFAULT_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)
	   Up to and including glibc 2.19:
	       _BSD_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)

DESCRIPTION

       This  routine  provides a means to find out in what areas your program spends most of its time.	The argument buf points to bufsiz bytes of
       core.  Every virtual 10 milliseconds, the user's program counter (PC) is examined: offset is subtracted and the	result	is  multiplied	by
       scale  and  divided  by	65536.	If the resulting value is less than bufsiz, then the corresponding entry in buf is incremented.  If buf is
       NULL, profiling is disabled.

RETURN VALUE

       Zero is always returned.

CONFORMING TO

       Similar to a call in SVr4 (but not POSIX.1).

BUGS

       profil() cannot be used on a program that also uses ITIMER_PROF interval timers (see setitimer(2)).

       True kernel profiling provides more accurate results.  Libc 4.4 contained a kernel patch providing a system call profil.
