Hi, I am wondering if there exists a centos command that runs another command and ensures the second command doesnt take more than x seconds? When x is given on the command line. If the second command is not "done" the first command will just kill it and both exit. Does such a method or command exist? I just need to ensure the second command does just continue to run and run and run.
I found something on the web ages ago that does just this - see: <http://www.splode.com/~friedman/software/scripts/src/with-timeout> James Pearson _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
