Subject: Test fix: ignore stderr when generating random string
X-Git-Tag: v2.8.0-rc1~97
X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3d07eea28a4d86b796d14f27e7bb06fba6804900;p=lttng-tools.git

Test fix: ignore stderr when generating random string

tr often reports a broken pipe when the head command exits
(after having received enough characters) which pollutes the
test output.
