Bug 27923 – run-webkit-tests should not invoke "ps" repeatedly on Mac OS X

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Mark Rowe (bdash)]

run-webkit-tests invokes "ps" repeatedly in an attempt to detect whether DumpRenderTree is in the process of crashing but being kept alive while ReportCrash generates a crash log.  It's invoked in a manner that spawns a subshell, which makes things even slower.

Bah, Tiger doesn't have swig.

Rolled out in r46678.  Will have to do some thinking to find an approach that works on Tiger too.
