# timeout
|
|
|
|
> Run a command with a time limit.
|
|
> More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/timeout>.
|
|
|
|
- Run `sleep 10` and terminate it after 3 seconds:
|
|
|
|
`timeout 3s sleep 10`
|
|
|
|
- Send a signal to the command after the time limit expires (SIGTERM by default):
|
|
|
|
`timeout --signal {{INT}} {{5s}} {{sleep 10}}`
