Re: [Linaro-validation] How to contribute to test-definitions?

It is ok to run some workloads in the background while running cyclictest. However, all the background workloads should be stopped or killed properly when the main test script exists, otherwise the background processes will block the whole LAVA test action from exiting until timeout reached.

I tried to run 'stress-ng hdd' when running network stress testing. See https://git.linaro.org/qa/test-definitions.git/tree/automated/linux/24h-stre.... When I look at it now, I feel it is actually not the best practice. A cleanup function should be defined to kill the background process when trap captured abnormal exit signals.

Thanks for the pointer. I'll give this try tomorrow and try to work on your idea.

Thanks, Daniel
