Fair enough.

Only
http://lava-dispatcher.readthedocs.org/en/latest/lava_test_shell.html
unfortunately.

Oh. Ah, I think I see the problem -- yaml sucks basically. Try this
instead:

run:
steps:
- 'lava-test-case botao-panda-es-ubuntu-test-test --shell echo "This is a test"'
- 'lava-test-case botao-panda-es-ubuntu-test-uname --shell uname -a'
- 'lava-test-case botao-panda-es-ubuntu-test-ifconfig --shell ifconfig -a'
