The
test_infinite_output_commandis supposed to be for commands likeyes.So the use of command
yesitself fortest_infinite_output_commandseems rational butyestries as to maximize CPU usage by generating output as fast as possible in an infinite loop without any delay between repetitions.This means the test could fail or pass arbitrarily based on the CPU condition or load.
This test could be made more reliable by using a controlled loop like
bash -c "while true; do echo 'test'; sleep 0.1; done"instead ofyesfor the test in question.
