Some comments from here.  I have not tested the patch.

I would recommend using TestLib::system_log instead of plain system().
The command should be a list of arguments with one element per
argument (see call of system_log in PostgresNode.pm for example).  The
indentation is incorrect, and that I would make the retry longer as I
got the feeling that on slow machines we could still have issues.  We
also usually tend to increase the timeout up to 5 minutes, and the
sleep phases make use of Time::HiRes::usleep.
