Hey.
The timeout(1) manpage says:
-k, --kill-after=DURATION
also send a KILL signal if COMMAND is still running
this long after the initial signal was sent
My naive assumption would have been that --kill-after=0 means that a
signal is sent immediately after the original one.
However, that doesn't seem to be the case.
If intended, this should perhaps at least be mentioned in the manpage
:-)
Cheers,
Chris.
