Actually, I now consider a bit cleaner and safer solution to *not* use eval
and require test to specify function. E.g.:

+retry_fnc()
+{
+	tst_rhost_run -c 'ss -ltp' | grep -q "$port.*testsf"
+}
+
 do_setup()
 {
 
@@ -28,7 +33,7 @@ do_setup()
 	tst_rhost_run -s -b -c "$server $(tst_ipaddr rhost) $port"
 	server_started=1
 	tst_res TINFO "wait for the server to start"
-	sleep 1
+	TST_RETRY_FUNC retry_fnc 0
 }

Instead of simple:

 do_setup()

+	TST_RETRY_FUNC "tst_rhost_run -c 'ss -ltp' | grep -q '$port.*testsf'" 0
 }

But I don't have strong opinion on it.
Cyril, Li, any preference?

Kind regards,
Petr
