Otherwise, exit -with the status of COMMAND. If no signal is specified, send the TERM -signal upon timeout. The TERM signal kills any process that does not -block or catch that signal. For other processes, it may be necessary to -use the KILL (9) signal, since this signal cannot be caught. If the -KILL (9) signal is sent, the exit status is 128+9 rather than 124. -.SH BUGS -Some platforms don't curently support timeouts beyond 2038 -.SH AUTHOR -Written by Padraig Brady. -.SH "REPORTING BUGS" -Report timeout bugs to bug\-coreutils@gnu.org -.br -GNU coreutils home page: <http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/> -.br -General help using GNU software: <http://www.gnu.org/gethelp/> -.br -Report timeout translation bugs to <http://translationproject.org/team/> -.SH COPYRIGHT -Copyright \(co 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc. -License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html>. -.br -This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it. -There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -kill(1) -.PP -The full documentation for -.B timeout -is maintained as a Texinfo manual.
