What I wanted was a sanity check. > If you run PHP as CGI you could set a timeout after which to give > up waiting and return an error to the client. man ulimit! We don't run PHP as CGI. I've been working with various *NIX since 1988 and did think to review the ulimit page before I posted because I considered trying it apache itself (briefly). Ulimit is fine if you have a process chewing CPU or grabbing memory. Fortunately or not, that isn't the case here. The timeout I need is on wall clock time, not CPU cycles. AFAICT from the man page ulimit doesn't have that option.
