timelimit.netpipes - limit execution time of foreground tasks
netpipes 4.2
timelimit.netpipes [ -v ] [ -nokill ] time command args
timelimit.netpipes is used to limit the amount of foreground wallclock time a process consumes. Once the time limit expires, timelimit.netpipes will kill the process, unless -nokill had been specified.
-v adds some diagnostic messages.
remote$ timelimit.netpipes 5m faucet 3000 --out cat time-sensitive-info
Find 'em. Send 'em in. I'll teach them to gnaw on my code!
Francis Liu <fxl@pulse.itd.uts.edu.au> suggested that I modify timelimit so that it doesn't SEGV when invoked with no arguments.
