Not sure if this is the best way to do this Smilie you might want to create a script inside a script.

if successful, pkill wont be able to kill any which will result to exit code 1 else it will be 0

Code:
-bash-3.2$ ./test.sh & sleep 10 ;pkill test.sh
[1] 28058
[1]+  Done                    ./test.sh
-bash-3.2$ echo $?
1
-bash-3.2$

in your case you might want to put idql in script1 and then the conditional test in script2, though im afraid it cant capture failed or success. Smilie maybe some conditional test again in script1.

Just to add the normal execution will be 0 and failure will be something else, the kill only happens if it hang so this is where the 2nd script comes in.

NAME
wibble-test-genrunner - Code generator for wibble testsuites. SYNOPSIS
wibble-test-genrunner header <file> wibble-test-genrunner main <files> DESCRIPTION
The program generates .cpp files that are then compiled and linked into a test program for running tests from .test.h files. Examples of such .test.h files may be found among wibble headers, eg. /usr/include/wibble/regexp.test.h. In the first form, the program processes a single header file (usually of the form foo.test.h) and produces a corresponding .cpp file to be compiled. In the second form, it takes as <files> all the .test.h headers and produces a single main.cpp which contains the main() function of the test program, which then runs all the tests in all the .test.h files. The generated source code is always written to standard output and it is left up to the user to redirect it to a meaningful location. The program currently has no options other than the two forms above. The program is intended to be run as part of build process of programs or libraries using the wibble testing framework. For convenient use from CMake, there is a test.cmake script under /usr/share/wibble, that takes care of producing all the .cpp files (both per-header and the main one), compiling them and linking them into a single binary which executes the testsuite.
