Hello,

When I launch fio_generate_plots on a system where gnuplot is not installed I
get this error :
$ fio_generate_plots test
Making bw logs
/usr/bin/fio_generate_plots: 42: /usr/bin/fio_generate_plots: -: not found

That's because the test checking whether gnuplot is installed is failing
because of an empty variable :
GNUPLOT=$(which gnuplot)
if [ ! -x $GNUPLOT ]; then
        echo You need gnuplot installed to generate graphs
        exit 1
fi

Indeed the command "test -x" is exiting with code 0.

To correct this we should enclose the variable with quotes :
if [ ! -x "$GNUPLOT" ]; then

Then the script is going into the test properly :
$ fio_generate_plots test
You need gnuplot installed to generate graphs
