487196 - Strsclnt doesn't wait for selfserv in memleak.sh.

Status: NEW

(NSS :: Test, defect, P3)

Description

[Slavomir Katuscak]

Testing scenario used in memleak.sh:
1. start selfserv as background process
2. wait 5 seconds
3. start strsclnt tests

In some cases there can happen that selfserv needs more than 5 seconds to start and then strsclnt fails:

This seems like a shell script problem, not a strsclnt problem.
The tstclnt program has an option to wait for the server to be ready.
If this problem with absurd start-up times cannot be solved, then 
you should use tstclnt after starting selfserv and before starting 
strsclnt, to ensure that selfserv is running.

I agree, it's problem in memleak.sh, I plan to add there some check whether selfserv is started.
