  2. Timebomb running of Linux commands? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I need a way to run a program with a time limit. Ideally it should be a command wrapper that kills the job after a certain time if the job hasn't finished by then (in the same way that "time" is a command wrapper that gives timing statistics about the job). Is there a standard way to achieve this?

      maybe:
      man -k /bin/laden

      or:
      man crontab
