Full Discussion: Command timed out implementation

I think you better put the 60 second supervision into the child code, i.e. replace the system() with code that installs such a signal / -handler and execve() so it directly receives the signal.
Then in the parent code, you just need to waitpid().
But, to be honest, I do not have much practical experience with such C code...
