I stepped for a moment and started to think about these wrappers testing smaller, individual user space tools, such as crontab, time, among others. It seems to me that such tests belong to a larger linux test suite, such as LTP. Otherwise we'll end up with a large amount of wrappers for tiny tests, which probably is not the granularity we're aiming for.
So Poornima, Paul, Rajeev and the other folks - did you guys consider to contribute such tests to LTP, for example?
