'Jmeter - How to run the same thread group but with different properties consequentially using command line

What I want to achieve is: I only have one thread group and the only thing that changes are the Thread Properties enter image description here

I want to run more than one thread group sequentially, and for each thread group have different configurations.

To run just the first one: ./jmeter -n -t loadTest.jmx -JTHREADS=1 -JRAMPIPSECONDS=1 -JDURATIONSECONDS=300

Now I want to add a 5 min delay and start a new thread with new parameters, but using the same command line, so I don't have to manually update the properties.

Solution 1:[1]

Refer to your operating system documentation, i.e. sleep command and && operator i.e.

./jmeter -n -t loadTest.jmx -JTHREADS=1 -JRAMPIPSECONDS=1 -JDURATIONSECONDS=300 \
&& sleep 300 \ 
&& ./jmeter -n -t loadTest.jmx -JTHREADS=new-number-of-threads -JRAMPIPSECONDS=new-ramp-up -JDURATIONSECONDS=new-duration \
&& sleep 300 \
etc.

You need to create a separate properties file(s) for your requirement. i.e, loadtest.properties, baseline.properties

Insert all your variables and its values in it . i.e,

THREADS=1
RAMPUPSECONDS=2

then pass the required property file using -q option to apply it to JMeter test run

e.g: jmeter -n -t loadTest.jmx -q loadtest.properties
