timeout
POSIX.1-2024 timeout
timeout [options] <duration> <command> [arguments...]
-f send timeout signal to the proccess only, not the process group
(when the group is sent the signal, 'timeout' briefly ignores it)
-k <duration> kill the process with SIGKILL after duration (respects -f)
-p preserve original exit status, regardless if timeout occured
-s <signal> TERM by default, or the chosen signal
<duration> such as 10, 10s, 2.5m, 24h, or 1.5d
Exit Status
0 no error (or no error from <command> with -p)
<n> the return status of <command> (with -p)
124 if killed by timeout (if -p is NOT specified)
125 all other errors (if -p is NOT specified)
126 command not executable
127 command not found
