[KVM-AUTOTEST PATCH 1/3] KVM test: kvm_utils.py: add utility function which locates program files

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



find_command() is similar to os_dep.command(), but instead of searching $PATH,
it searches a few hard coded locations.  The problem with searching
$PATH is that different users may have different $PATHs.  For example, autotest
can be executed by a non-root user, or using sudo, and in some OSes this will
result in /sbin not being included in $PATH.
