Timing a script
i have a very big script i have that i'd like to add a timeout to.

this script runs on a several remote host. i update this script with timeout clause and then copy it over to all the hosts on which it is currently on.

basically, i want the timeout to make the script abort/exit if it's running time is beyond a predeffined time.

this is a script written in bash.

i'm hoping something like this is possible.

Code:
#!/bin/bash

timeout 60seconds () {

.......
........
.........
........
.........
.......
.......

}

if [ timeout -ge 60 ]
exit
fi

startpar

STARTPAR(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       STARTPAR(8)

NAME

       startpar - start runlevel scripts in parallel

SYNOPSIS

       startpar [-p par] [-i iorate] [-t timeout] [-T global_timeout] [-a arg] prg1 prg2 ...
       startpar [-p par] [-i iorate] [-t timeout] [-T global_timeout] -M [ boot|start|stop]

DESCRIPTION

       startpar  is  used  to run multiple run-level scripts in parallel.  The degree of parallelism on one CPU can be set with the -p option, the
       default is full parallelism. An argument to all of the scripts can be provided with the -a option.  Processes blocked by pending  I/O  will
       cause  new  process  creation  to be weighted by the iorate factor 800.	To change this factor the option -i can be used to specify another
       value.  The amount weight=(nblockedxiorate)/1000 will be subtracted from the total number  of  processes  which	could  be  started,  where
       nblocked is the number of processes currently blocked by pending I/O.

       The  output  of	each  script is buffered and written when the script exits, so output lines of different scripts won't mix. You can modify
       this behaviour by setting a timeout.

       The timeout set with the -t option is used as buffer timeout. If the output buffer of a script is not empty and the last output was timeout
       seconds ago, startpar will flush the buffer.

       The  -T option timeout works more globally. If no output is printed for more than global_timeout seconds, startpar will flush the buffer of
       the script with the oldest output. Afterwards it will only print output of this script until it is finished.

       The -M option switches startpar into a make(1) like behaviour.  This option takes three different arguments:  boot,  start,  and  stop  for
       reading .depend.boot or .depend.start or .depend.stop respectively in the directory /etc/init.d/.  By scanning the boot and runlevel direc-
       tories in /etc/init.d/ it then executes the appropriate scripts in parallel.

FILES

       /etc/init.d/.depend.boot
       /etc/init.d/.depend.start
       /etc/init.d/.depend.stop
