"Test Run Command" execution

[ionictea]

What calls the executable generated from the test definition? For example with fio 'fio-run' is the executable in this case:

Test Run Command: cd /var/lib/phoronix-test-suite/installed-tests/local/fio-1.8.2/ && ./fio-run randread posixaio 1 0 4k MBS 2>&1

What do you mean by what calls it? It's called at test run-time. The binary name can be specified via the test definition XML if it's not the same as the test profile name.

For fio tests there is a declaration in the test definition xml file for that via '<Executable>fio-run</Executable>' but for hdparm I'm not seeing anything for that in its test definition xml file.

Test Run Command: cd /var/lib/phoronix-test-suite/installed-tests/pts/hdparm-read-1.0.0/ && /usr/share/phoronix-test-suite/pts-core/static/root-access.sh ./hdparm-read -t /dev/sdb 2>&1

Because the test profile itself is named hdparm-read, so if the <Executable> tag isn't specified, it will assume the binary is called whatever the test profile is called.
