Here is the idea i have ....
1)create a junk file having varying lines of lengths of data ....
2)put a while loop for number of files u want ...
if u want 100 files repeat the loop 100 time
get the random number using the following
3)x=`expr $RANDOM % 1000`
4) Using this random number 'x' get the xth line from junk file
put it in the randomfile using date upto seconds
since time changes for evry sec ... u will have 60 diff files in a minute.
d=`date +%T`
5) echo "xth line" > $d.dat
6).use sleep if u want ....
Hope this is not junk idea !!

SYNOPSIS
int sleep (int $seconds)
DESCRIPTION
Delays the program execution for the given number of $seconds.
PARAMETERS

If the specified number of $seconds is negative, this function will generate a E_WARNING.

| 5.3.4 | |

| | Before PHP 5.3.4, on Windows, sleep(3) always |
| | returns NULL when sleep has occurred, regardless |
| | of whether the sleep was interrupted or not. |

EXAMPLES
Example #1
sleep(3) example
<?php
// current time
echo date('h:i:s') . "
