commit 86fa1afe97381a95940b80225b104133603a813e Author: Ondrej Lichtner <olichtne(a)redhat.com&gt; Date: Tue Nov 27 08:20:19 2012 +0100 NetTestSlave: check if NetworkManager is running This commit adds function check_process_running that checks if there is a process with a specified name running on the system. This function is then used in the slaves rpc method hello() to check if NetworkManager is running. NetworkManager is know for causing problem s during automatic network testing when he interferes with the testing network interfaces. The slave now logs a warning message to point out these potential problems.
