You meant if the answer is "NO" then I should be using asset ?

The run api is like a wrapper to sub-process module it does a Popen
run's the command and returns stdout ,err and ret. The only exception
it can raise is a timeout error.

Iam using the try expect block to loop over  the list do I have
alternatives  but would prefer the for loop because in the actual
program there are 100 of command and putting them in a list is quite
easy and running over with the same operation saves many lines of code
,  Cam I modify it something like a try except with pass in the except
? or any suggestions


    for cmd in ["mount /nfs_mount1", "mount /cifs_mount1"]:
        try:
            if not run_cmd_and_verify(cmd, timeout=3600):
                return False
        except:
                pass
    logging.info("Setup and Creation ....Done !!!")
