When you send a process in the background you can use the "jobs" command to get its PID. Using this PID you can terminate it by sending signal 15 (or, if this doesn't help, 9).
The display format of "jobs" might differ slightly from OS to OS, so you will have to fine-tune the following sketch to work on yours. I have not tested it yet, so you might have to adapt it a bit too:
Code:
....
controljob ()
{
typeset chJob="$1" # some command line
typeset -i iTimeOut=$2 # time to wait in seconds
typeset -i iPID=0
typeset -i iCnt=0
$chJob &
iPID=$(jobs | sed, awk, ...) # whatever is necessary for your system
while [ $iCnt -lt $iTimeOut -a $(ps -p $iPID | wc -l) -gt 0 ] ; do
sleep 1
(( iCnt += 1 ))
done
if [ $(ps -p $iPID | wc -l) -gt 0 ] ; then
kill -15 $iPID
sleep 3 # the process may need some time to terminate
fi
if [ $(ps -p $iPID | wc -l) -gt 0 ] ; then
kill -9 $iPID
exit 1
fi
exit 0
}
Moderator's Comments:
finally i'd like to ask you not to ignore requests by the moderators again. zaxxon has asked you to use CODE-tags and in your next post you didn't use them again. Thank you for your consideration.

cgi::application::dispatch::regexp
CGI::Application::Dispatch::Regexp(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation CGI::Application::Dispatch::Regexp(3pm)NAME
CGI::Application::Dispatch::Regexp - Dispatch requests to CGI::Application based objects using regular expressions
SYNOPSIS
use CGI::Application::Dispatch::Regexp;
CGI::Application::Dispatch::Regexp->dispatch(
prefix => 'MyApp',
table => [
'' => { app => 'Welcome', rm => 'start' },
qr|/([^/]+)/?| => { names => ['app'] },
qr|/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?| => { names => [qw(app rm)] },
qr|/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/page(d+).html?| => { names => [qw(app rm page)] },
],
);
DESCRIPTION
CGI::Application::Dispatch uses its own syntax dispatch table. "CGI::Application::Dispatch::Regexp" allows one to use flexible and
powerful Perl regular expressions to transform a path into argument list.
DISPATCH TABLE
The dispatch table should contain list of regular expressions with hashref of corresponding parameters. Hash element 'names' is a list of
names of regular expression groups. The default table looks like this:
table => [
qr|/([^/]+)/?| => { names => ['app'] },
qr|/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?| => { names => [qw(app rm)] },
],
Here's an example of defining a custom 'page' parameter:
qr|/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/page(d+).html/?| => { names => [qw(app rm page)] },
