Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to kill a child script if it takes more than 10 minutes? Post 302817139 by rbatte1 on Wednesday 5th of June 2013 09:03:17 AM

Dear pravin27,

You risk either killing an innocent process that happens to have been created later on with the same process id (especially if you are running as the super-user) but you will probably be generating mail. I would go with Skrynesaver's suggestion. Far safer. It might be worth investing a little time in listing the process details at the start and at the end to ensure you are definitely killing the same process.
