--- Begin Message ---Package: timeout Version: 1.18-3 Severity: important Hi, Recently I noted about a different behaviour in one of my scripts. I exec: timeout 1700 zenity --entry --text "What are you doing" echo -e "Cat1\nCat2" | zenity --list --text "Category" --column "category" Time before, second question was asked inmediately after first command was completed (after fill zenity question). Now with this newer timoeut I have to wait 1700 seconds ... It would be great about have a option to terminate the program when command finish and not after time parameter seconds. If this issue is the searched, please document it on NEWS or similar file. An example: ~/empty$ timeout 10 ls javi@pepinux:~/empty$ ps aux | grep timeout javi 32111 0.0 0.0 1636 124 pts/3 S 12:12 0:00 timeout 10 ls Thank you very much -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=es_ES.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages timeout depends on: ii libc6 2.9-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries timeout recommends no packages. timeout suggests no packages. -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---Version: 1.19-1 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)
