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

iptables-apply(8)					      System Manager's Manual						 iptables-apply(8)

NAME
iptables-apply - a safer way to update iptables remotely SYNOPSIS
iptables-apply [-hV] [-t timeout] ruleset-file DESCRIPTION
iptables-apply will try to apply a new ruleset (as output by iptables-save/read by iptables-restore) to iptables, then prompt the user whether the changes are okay. If the new ruleset cut the existing connection, the user will not be able to answer affirmatively. In this case, the script rolls back to the previous ruleset after the timeout expired. The timeout can be set with -t. When called as ip6tables-apply, the script will use ip6tables-save/-restore instead. OPTIONS
-t seconds, --timeout seconds Sets the timeout after which the script will roll back to the previous ruleset. -h, --help Display usage information. -V, --version Display version information. SEE ALSO
iptables-restore(8), iptables-save(8), iptables(8). LEGALESE
