Description

mesos-gtest-runner.py fails on systems without a separate ulimit binary (i.e. CentOS 7).

/home/ipronin/mesos/build/../support/mesos-gtest-runner.py --sequential=*ROOT_* ./mesos-tests
Could not check compatibility of ulimit settings: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'ulimit'

The problem arises in this call. Seems that it can be fixed by passing a shell=True argument to subprocess.check_output().

Another problem is ROOT_* tests which should be ran as root. For root ulimit -u will most likely return "unlimited", which will again crash the runner.

Could not check compatibility of ulimit settings: invalid literal for int() with base 10: b'unlimited\n'
