Is there any nspr function or XPCOM service to search the executable

You can use execvp (spawnvp on Windows) instead.
For that you could use system(...). However, to be able to kill it
after a timeout, you probably need to use the calls above (the
alternative is to call system from a separate thread), register a
signal handler to detect the process exiting or use wait, and
apparently also have a thread that wakes up after the time-out, checks
if the process exited, and kills it if it hasn't.
But that is not portable :-m
Mozilla have not any service for this?
Anyway, thank you for the Ideas. Other solution is simply enter in a
loop and check if the process lives 100ms, and after the timeout, kill
it.
