Hello everybody, this is my first post on this forum. I have a program that has a child process that sleeps for 5 second and exit.

Hi, I have an c++ application which uses the function fork and execvp(). The parent does not wait until the child ends. The parents just creates children and let them do their stuff. You can see the parent program as a batch-manager. I have added a SIGCHLD handler to the program: void...

timeout

TIMEOUT(1)							   User Commands							TIMEOUT(1)

NAME

       timeout - run a command with a time limit

SYNOPSIS

       timeout [OPTION] DURATION COMMAND [ARG]...
       timeout [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       Start COMMAND, and kill it if still running after DURATION.

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

       --preserve-status

	      exit with the same status as COMMAND, even when the

	      command times out

       --foreground

	      when not running timeout directly from a shell prompt,

	      allow COMMAND to read from the TTY and get TTY signals; in this mode, children of COMMAND will not be timed out

       -k, --kill-after=DURATION

	      also send a KILL signal if COMMAND is still running

	      this long after the initial signal was sent

       -s, --signal=SIGNAL

	      specify the signal to be sent on timeout;

	      SIGNAL may be a name like 'HUP' or a number; see 'kill -l' for a list of signals

       --help
	      display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit

       DURATION is a floating point number with an optional suffix: 's' for seconds (the default), 'm' for minutes, 'h' for hours or 'd' for days.

       If  the command times out, and --preserve-status is not set, then exit with status 124.	Otherwise, exit with the status of COMMAND.  If no
       signal is specified, send the TERM signal upon timeout.	The TERM signal kills any process that does not block or catch	that  signal.	It
       may be necessary to use the KILL (9) signal, since this signal cannot be caught, in which case the exit status is 128+9 rather than 124.

BUGS

       Some platforms don't currently support timeouts beyond the year 2038.
