Thanks for the review. I'll have a look at retrydelay() again tomorrow, and see if it makes waiting for tail's output easier.

Hi Padraig,

as there are different line counts expected in the 'out' file, I needed to change retry_delay_(). it can now be called with more than three arguments (test_func, init_delay, max_n_tries) in which case it passes such values on to test_func.

Unless there are objection, I'd push the attached tomorrow.

Have a nice day, Berny
