Hi,

Use case:

mac@margarita:~$ touch /tmp/a
mac@margarita:~$ timelimit 10 /tmp/a
timelimit: Unable to exec /tmp/a (Permission denied)

Here timelimit hangs forever... although the primary usage of timelimit
is specifically to stop the command after a given time.

There is a file conflict between netpipes and timelimit package, which is now resolved as timelimit package declaring a conflict with netpipes. OTOH, it seems that the timelimit application brought by netpipes package is inferior to the timelimit program provided by the timelimit package, and it (netpipes)
is otherwise in need with a decent timelimit program, anyway.

One way to resolve that (without duplicating already working code) is to drop or rename the timelimit app as brought by the netpipes package (I prefer the former) and 'depends/recommends/suggests' the timelimit package, whish should drop its conflict as well, and could also declare 'enhances' of netpipes..

Thoughts?
