    Problem Summary TSD4C.00233 The test does not allow any time between sending the signal and checking that the processes have terminated.
    Problem Text
    The script creates a process group and then issues a kill command
    to the process group. Immediately following this it checks for any
    any processes still running under the process group. Under some
    circumstances it is possible that the system recognizes that one
    or more processes in the process group is still active, causing the
    test to fail. For the test to be robust it is necessary to introduce
    a wait after the kill command is issued.

    The test script should have a reasonable delay introduced between
    the time the kill command is issued and the time it checks for
    processes executing under the process group as in assertions 10
    and 20 which have a sleep time to "allow time for signals to be
    processed".
    Test Output
    Assertion #18 (A): kill -s TERM -pid .... sends SIGTERM to proc
    <LC> ess grp
    Command failed: '[ 1 -eq 0 ]'
    Assertion Result: FAIL
