A shell script test case

[Peter Holm]

I tried my hand with a test scenario for a current FreeBSD VM problem:
At first I did not understand what I did wrong when I got:

$ kyua test vm_pageout_test
vm_pageout_test:__test_cases_list__  ->  broken: Tester did not exit
cleanly: kyua-atf-tester: Test program list did not return success
[0.000s]

0/1 passed (1 failed)
Committed action 15
$ 

but I figured it out.

Now to the real question: Are regression tests like this one really
ATF material? I would think that the long runtime could be prohibitive?

$ kyua debug vm_pageout_test:basic
