I have a script run by cron once every half hour which
gets a RADAR image, does some manipulation on the file,
and stores it.  It's been running fine for a few weeks
now.

However, when I got home from work today, the computer
was *very* sluggish, and 'ps' showed many many instances
of both the script and 'giftopnm' (one of the programs
used in the script).  I don't know what went wrong, but
giftopnm was hanging and not allowing the script to
complete.

So - is there any way to limit the amount of time a
cronjob (or any other job) can live?

Hints appreciated...
