This is working on one of my Solaris installations SunOS cathsunvs04 5.10 Generic_150400-46 sun4v sparc sun4v haven't tested anywhere else.

Thanks a lot, it works splendidly. But i do not know if this is the solution.
I think that the "ConnectTimeout=10" property is only for connecting. I mean, if i want to connect to another server with sftp and i canīt connect after 10 seconds, it drops and it is fine.
But in my case, i can always connect to the remote server. The problem is when getting the files. Sometimes in the middle of the copy, it delays a lot (more than 1 hour). And in that case is where i want the script to cancel the sftp and to continue to the next line. Do you understand what I mean?
Hi,
I have to develop a shell script which exits after <n> minutes. For e.g. The user is taking too much time to enter an input, and the script will terminate after 10 minutes pass by.
Is this possible ?
Thanks,

This is part of my script, as you can see when the alarm is raised it shows some text, what I need it to do is to actually kill the binary "test" (TEST_PATH) when the timeout happens.

Hi,
I've written a very robust script to get an external IP address from 'behind' a router. It uses many web pages randomly choosing which one/ones to use at run time. The "fetch the web page containing the IP address" is handled by either wget or curl both of which have their 'max time for the... (6 Replies)

shell-quote
SHELL-QUOTE(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation SHELL-QUOTE(1p)NAME
shell-quote - quote arguments for safe use, unmodified in a shell command
SYNOPSIS
shell-quote [switch]... arg...
DESCRIPTION
shell-quote lets you pass arbitrary strings through the shell so that they won't be changed by the shell. This lets you process commands
or files with embedded white space or shell globbing characters safely. Here are a few examples.
EXAMPLES
ssh preserving args
When running a remote command with ssh, ssh doesn't preserve the separate arguments it receives. It just joins them with spaces and
passes them to "$SHELL -c". This doesn't work as intended:
ssh host touch 'hi there' # fails
It creates 2 files, hi and there. Instead, do this:
cmd=`shell-quote touch 'hi there'`
ssh host "$cmd"
This gives you just 1 file, hi there.
process find output
It's not ordinarily possible to process an arbitrary list of files output by find with a shell script. Anything you put in $IFS to
split up the output could legitimately be in a file's name. Here's how you can do it using shell-quote:
eval set -- `find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 shell-quote --`
debug shell scripts
shell-quote is better than echo for debugging shell scripts.
debug() {
[ -z "$debug" ] || shell-quote "debug:" "$@"
}
With echo you can't tell the difference between "debug 'foo bar'" and "debug foo bar", but with shell-quote you can.
save a command for later
shell-quote can be used to build up a shell command to run later. Say you want the user to be able to give you switches for a command
you're going to run. If you don't want the switches to be re-evaluated by the shell (which is usually a good idea, else there are
things the user can't pass through), you can do something like this:
user_switches=
while [ $# != 0 ]
do
case x$1 in
x--pass-through)
[ $# -gt 1 ] || die "need an argument for $1"
user_switches="$user_switches "`shell-quote -- "$2"`
shift;;
# process other switches
esac
shift
done
# later
eval "shell-quote some-command $user_switches my args"
OPTIONS --debug
Turn debugging on.
--help
Show the usage message and die.
--version
Show the version number and exit.
