I would make a wrapper script that would do the following:

Code:
Set a trap for child exit
On child trap, exit because we didn't exceed time

Get commmand and time from command line
execute command in background 

while time < expected
 sleep short time (1 minute?)
 if command not running then exit
end while

Email alert

You don't want to sleep in a shell for the expected time because you won't get the child exit trap until you wake up if the monitored command exited earlier.

       jobs belonging to the named user are displayed.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -c	Displays the queued jobs in the order they were created (that is, the time that the at command was given).
