What signal should the timeout program send to the child process when it gets a SIGTERM?
The timeout in coreutils does not do the same as timeout from tct. tct-timeout sends the signal it was instructed to send on timeout, coreutils-timeout sends the signal it received. I like the tct behaviour as that makes it easy to send a SIGKILL, is there a chance that you could change timeout in coreutils to do it like that?
