Description
shell tests are known to be error-prone and hard to debug, furthermore in most cases a shell script part does not do much, therefore they should be rewritten to java version.
Comments
Fix request (11u) Requesting backport of this test update to facilitate the backport of JDK-8287906 to jdk11u-dev. Backport marked as clean and testing is green.

I'm sorry but it's not 'feature' it's a bug, there have been several cases when shell tests sporadically crashed (in most cases due to problems w/ OS, shells, e.g. JDK-8151315) and this was the original idea behind this shell to java rewriting.

Runtime Triage: This is not on our current list of priorities. We will consider this feature if we receive additional customer requirements.
