This might inspire some additional ideas.
The general idea is to "spawn" your potentionally long running process(es) (child1 and child2) to the background and check it after so many secs: if active kill it and continue (killing the "watcher" as well).
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
#set -x

typeset -i childRun='50'

typeset -i childMax='10'

function child1 {
   sleep "${childRun}"
}
function child2 {
   sleep "${childRun}"
}


function main {
#  set -x
  print -u2 "starting child-> [$(date)]"
  child1&
  typeset childPid=$!

  (
      (
          sleep "${childMax}"&
          echo $!
          wait $! && {
              print -u2 "Killing hung child (pid=$childPid) ->[$(date)]"
              kill -9 $childPid
          }
      ) &
  ) | read timer_pid

  wait
  kill $timer_pid 2> /dev/null
}


main

Hope it helps.

Thanks a lot.
I will try that.

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
