1. It did not work. What units is the timeout anyway? I waited 2 seconds and 2 minutes and it did not fire. 2. I need to do some cleanup if there is a timeout (kill the stuck process). How do I register a cleanup function? 3. No matter how the timeout is done (unless you start a watcher process and kill -KILL the test process) it can break (masking signal mask, changing timers, catching signal). christos
