Joachim Wiberg e9c8d3d740 test: verify finit restarts crashing services & registers new PID
We extend the service.sh to emulate a well behaving service that creates
and removes its own PID file.

The new test emulates a crash by sending SIGKILL to service.sh.  We then
verify that Finit restarts it, and eventually registers the new PID when
the services recreates the PID file.

Issue #226

Tests

Finit comes with a set of tests and a small framework for running them. Contributors are encouraged to write new tests when implementing features, or fixing bugs.

Each test is run in isolation, in it's own namespace. Finit will therefore be able to be launched as PID 1. Since it's also running with it's own root directory it will be able to function properly without having any super user privileges in the host environment.

Running tests

To run the test suite, first build Finit - then simply run:

make check

make check will set up the required assets for the test environment, and then run the full set of tests. The environment is not removed afterwards so at this point individual tests can be executed without having to run the entire test suite, which is handy when developing new tests or debugging existing test. To execute an individual test, simply invoke the script containing it:

./test/name-of-the-test.sh
