Package: timelimit (1.5-1 and others)

Simple utility to limit a process's absolute execution time

The timelimit utility executes a command and terminates the spawned process after a given time with a given signal. A "warning" signal is sent first, then, after a timeout, a "kill" signal, similar to the way init(8) operates on shutdown.
