Jim,
Even without setting up some sort of fancy interrupt thing, of course
you can get a script to time out.
In fact, I think you'd WANT the script to time out, even if it was
getting input from syslog, because if syslog were spewing warning
messages, you'd want the script to let go and send its warnings.
Script would look something like:
to=30
while( to > 0 )
output .= <STDIN>
sleep 1
to--
do send-email
Cheers,
