Package: timeout
Version: 1.11-6.1
Severity: wishlist
Please support more time formats, like tmpreaper does. Here's a quote
From the manual:
The <time_spec> should be a number, defaulting to hours,
optionally suffixed by one character: ‘d’ for days, ‘h’ for
hours, ‘m’ for minutes, or ‘s’ for seconds.
It would be nice to be able to call timeout like this:
timeout 6h foo
instead of:
timeout 21600 foo
It's more readable and quite useful for very long lasting nightly cron
jobs like backups.
I guess the time format parsing can be easily pasted from tmpreaper.
Thanks.

Some (long) time ago you filed this bug against the timeout package.
In the meantime the package has been removed and a timeout command is
included in the coreutils package.
If the issue you encountered is also applicable to timeout from
coreutils (as released with Debian 7.0 wheezy or later) the maintainers
would very much appreciate a fresh report using
reportbug /usr/bin/timeout
(you should also mention the number of this bug if you think it contains
valuable information).
Please note that further information sent to this bug is likely to
remain unread, because the bug is currently not assigned to any existing
package.
Thank you for taking time to report bugs found in Debian packages.
Kind regards,
Andrei (with no relation to timeout, tct or coreutils maintenance)
