    Test Suite VSC version 5.3.22NW
    Test Identification /tset/POSIX.upe/renice/renice.ex{16}
    Specification Shell and Utilities Issue 6
    Location in Spec https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/renice.html
    Problem Summary The test for renice assertion 16 does not determine the PGID correctly
    Problem Text The test starts a background process, saves its pid, then does the following to get the PGID:



    PGID=`ps -o pid -o pgid | grep $pid 2> /dev/null | awk -F" " '{ print $2 }?`



    If by chance the new process?s PID is a substring of another existing process?s PID and/or PGID,
    the grep will capture multiple lines and PGID will end up being a whitespace-separated list of
    multiple PIDs. Then it executes this command:



    renice -n 10 -g $PGID > $CT_STDOUT 2> $CT_STDERR



    which will try to modify the priorities of all these processes, and once in a while that will fail.
