I want to prompt a user for input but I want it to timeout after a specified time if no response is given. I tried the sleep command but this does not work. I am using ksh.

Dears,

In this post, Perderabo's script says
echo 05/06/25 14:15:56 | IFS=" /:" read Y1 M1 D1 h1 m1 s1
which, if I am not wrong, will break the input into Y1, M1 et al.
I tried the following in my code

DESCRIPTION
Stty shows or changes the parameters of the terminal connected to standard input. Stty takes a myriad of arguments most of which are
mapped directly to the flags and special characters described in tty(4), so we won't describe them here.
Stty has three forms of operation. First, without any arguments stty shows all terminal attributes that are different from the default
state. Option -a makes stty print all terminal attributes, and -g lets stty print the attributes in a special encoded form, a simple row
of colon separated hexadecimal numbers.
In the second form of operation stty takes an encoded form as produced by the -g option and sets the terminals attributes to its decoded
value.
In the third form stty interprets a series of flags and parameters settings and modifies the terminal attributes accordingly. Flags can be
given as icanon or -icanon for instance, either setting or clearing the ICANON flag. Special character values can by set like intr=^C for
example, which sets the interrupt character to CTRL-C. You can either use a real CTRL-C, or the two characters `^' and `C'. In any case
it is probably necessary to use quotes to guard it from the shell: intr='^C'.
A number alone is interpreted as a baud rate setting for both the input and output rate. The input or the output rate can be set sepa-
rately with use of the ispeed and ospeed prefixes to the number. The character size can be set with cs5, cs6, cs7 or cs8.
The MIN and TIME value, and the number of rows and columns of the window can also be set using one of the keywords min, time, rows or cols,
followed by a decimal number that is the value of the setting.
Stty accepts several keywords that are not named by corresponding flags or parameters in tty(4). They set several attributes at once:
cooked Same as icrnl ixon opost onlcr isig icanon iexten echo, setting all the attributes that are needed for line oriented mode.
raw Same as -icrnl -ixon -opost -onlcr -isig -icanon -iexten -echo, setting all the attributes for a raw data channel.
evenp parity
These synonyms are equal to cs7 parenb -parodd, setting the line to 7 bits even parity.
oddp Same as cs7 parenb parodd, setting the line to 7 bits odd parity.
-parity -evenp -oddp
All synonyms for cs8 -parenb, setting the line to 8 bits, no parity.
nl Same as icrnl, setting carriage return to line feed input translation.
-nl Same as -icrnl -inlcr -igncr, disabling any carriage return or line feed handling.
ek Set the ERASE and KILL special characters back to the default.
sane Set all attributes to the default except things like the line speed and parity, because their "sane" value is probably what it is
right now. The default values are compiled into stty from the <termios.h> include file. Use stty sane; stty -a to know what they
are.
FILES
/etc/ttytab The init field of this file may contain an stty command to set the attributes to match an attached RS232 terminal or modem.
SEE ALSO tty(4), ttytab(5).
NOTES
The cooked, raw, rows and cols keywords are Minix additions beyond the keywords defined by POSIX. Rows and cols are common UNIX exten-
sions, however. There are more Minix specific flags that match the Minix specific attributes described in tty(4).
