Changes since v3: * Replaced the use of grep | wc -l with a simplified ! grep command to directly check for the absence of "NEVER" in the output. I was not able to add this in the second patch ( employing test_line_count() to replace test). I was able to come to this solution with the help of Eric and Patriack.
