NAME


timeout - run a command with a time limit

SYNOPSIS


timeout [OPTION] DURATION COMMAND [ARG]...
timeout [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION


Start COMMAND, and kill it if still running after DURATION.

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

--preserve-status

exit with the same status as COMMAND, even when the

command times out

--foreground

when not running timeout directly from a shell prompt,

allow COMMAND to read from the TTY and get TTY signals; in this mode, children of
COMMAND will not be timed out

-k, --kill-after=DURATION

also send a KILL signal if COMMAND is still running

this long after the initial signal was sent

-s, --signal=SIGNAL

specify the signal to be sent on timeout;

SIGNAL may be a name like 'HUP' or a number; see 'kill -l' for a list of signals

--help
display this help and exit

--version
output version information and exit

DURATION is a floating point number with an optional suffix: 's' for seconds (the
default), 'm' for minutes, 'h' for hours or 'd' for days.

If the command times out, and --preserve-status is not set, then exit with status 124.
Otherwise, exit with the status of COMMAND. If no signal is specified, send the TERM
signal upon timeout. The TERM signal kills any process that does not block or catch that
signal. It may be necessary to use the KILL (9) signal, since this signal cannot be
caught, in which case the exit status is 128+9 rather than 124.
