No, but its quite likely that the host has bash when something as big as QEMU is already there, or at least that it shouldn't be a huge problem to install it. >> Apart from that, there are changes in output and exit codes. >> - summary doesn't go to stderr > > I wanted the summary on stderr so when you redirect the output of the > test to a file the output would directly diff with the corresponding > output in test.log from a system where run_tests.sh was used. Ok, stderr from qemu needs to be redirected too then. I will add an extra param to set file for __*log helpers or helpers that redirect to stderr. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
