I saw several thread for this issue but none addresses my issue.
I have tried read -t but the result is read bad options
My requirement is

2. If input = y or no input in 60 seconds
then continue processing
else
exit
fi
Kindly consider this urgent. (8 Replies)

recovermov
RECOVERMOV(1) User Commands RECOVERMOV(1)NAME
recovermov - recover movies from a filesystem image
SYNOPSIS
recovermov [options] device
DESCRIPTION
Recovermov tries to identify mov movies from a filesystem image. To achieve this goal, it scans the filesystem image and looks for a mov
structure at blocks starting at 512 bytes boundaries.
OPTIONS -h Display an help message.
-b blocksize
Set the size of blocks in bytes. On most file systems, setting it to 512 (the default) will work fine as any large file will be
stored on 512 bytes boundaries. Setting it to 1 maximize the chances of finding very small files if the filesystems aggregates them
(UFS for example) at the expense of a much longer running time.
-i integerindex
Set the initial index value for image numbering (default: 0).
-n basename
Basename to use to create the salvaged files. Default is video_.
All the sizes may be suffixed by a k, m or g letter to indicate KiB, MiB or GiB. For example, 6m correspond to 6 MiB (6291456
bytes).
EXAMPLES
Recover as many movies as possible from the memory card located in /dev/sdc:
recovermov /dev/sdc
Recover as many movies as possible from a crashed ReiserFS file system (which does not necessarily store files at block boundaries) in
/dev/hdb1:
recovermov -b 1 /dev/hdb1
