I counted the [FAIL] or [ OK ] markers but not the output of nettest
itself. I don't know what to look for, I guess I could diff the outputs?

Shouldn't it be sufficient to compare the exit codes of the nettest client?

The output is also modified by a previous change to not capture server
output separately and instead let it be combined with that of the
client. That change is required for this one, doing out=$(nettest -k)
does not return on fork unless the pipe is also closed.

I did not look at your change, mine is relatively minimal because it
only changes who decide when the server goes into the background: the
shell script or the server itself. This makes it work very easily even
for tests with multiple server instances.
