Adjust flush/refresh tests to allow more time
for completion, and fix a bug that caused a
race condition between the test script and a
process it invokes.
Description:
Flush/refresh testing slows down considerably
with multiple (other) processes running in the
background, such as the case when -j option is
supplied to gmake when running the test suite.
I've extended the amount of time before the test
times out due to not receiving a signal, and
modified the script so that the timer now resets
after receiving a signal so it is not a cumulative
timer for the entire test, but rather only per
verification process that the script needs to spawn.
Additionally, I changed the way the test script
detected that a signal from a process was ready by
changing detection from 'file exists' to 'non-empty
file exists'.
This test may need to undergo further tweaking once
we get a feeling for how well it currently runs in
a number of different scenarios, particularly with
regards to how the script and the processes it spawns
communicate with each other.
Tested:
amani, using 'gmake -j 8 check'.
