you can put the below lines as the first lines of your script..
#!/bin/sh echo $$ > /tmp/myprog.lck echo sleep 1800 > mytmp.sh echo kill -9 \`cat /tmp/myprog.lck\` >> mytmp.sh sh mytmp.sh & while true; do echo ilan; sleep 2; done #here your script content goes instead of while loop exit 0 this will terminate itself in 30 minutes... -ilan
