From: Kui-Feng Lee <redacted>

Add 10 IPv6 routes with expiration time.  Wait for a few seconds
to make sure they are removed correctly.

I guess the above works somehow ?!?

But I think something alike:

	# just after printing the banner
	TIME=$(which time)
	if [ -z "$TIME" ]; then
		echo "command 'time' is missing, skipping test"
		return
	fi
	# ...

		# replacing the strace command
		REALTM_P=$(time -f %e $NS_EXEC sysctl \
		       -wq net.ipv6.route.flush=1 2>&1)

would be better.

In any case you should check explicitly for the additionally needed
command ('strace' in your code, 'time' here).

And you could include the expected output in the commit message (just a
line, right?)

Cheers

Paolo

The availability of 'time' is much higher than 'strace', however
'time -f %e' measures runtime in mini-seconds. That means I have to
add more (x100 perhaps) temporary routes to make it reliably visible to
'time -f %e'. I will try it and check the existence of the command.
