There seems to be inconsistency in the scripts...
If I quote the source code:

file: /usr/lib/fai/subroutines
[...]
task_tests() {

     if [ -d $FAI/tests ]; then
         fai-do-scripts $FAI/tests  # always returns 0 atm
         # check if any test failed
         if [ -f $LOGDIR/test.log ]; then
[...]

Fai use fai-do-scripts command and expect logs to be outputted in 
$LOGDIR/test.log (see the if statement)

In script fai-do-scripts I can see thinks like:
[...]

          *"POSIX shell script"*|*"executable shell script"*|*"/bash 
script"*|*"Bourne shell script"*|*"Bourne-Again shell script"*)
             echo "Executing   $shelldebug shell: $file"
             echo "=====   shell: $file   =====" >> $LOGDIR/shell.log 2>&1
             $shelldebug ./$file >> $LOGDIR/shell.log 2>&1
[...]

The output file is hard-coded depending on filetype. I don't see any 
reference to test.log

@FAI experts: what would be the best way to handle this?

* patch fai-do-scripts: add a new option to force output to a single logfile

* use the -L option of fai-do-scripts and output tests logs to an subdir 
(called for exemple 'test(s)')
