Hey.
One more thing on this, since I've just read through:
https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/timeout-invocation.html#timeout-invocation
That does IMO *not* document the behaviour:
--kill-after=duration says:
>This option has no effect if timeout’s duration is 0 which disables
>the associated timeout.
But that's about the timeout from the command itself (i.e. the 1st non-
option argument), isn't it?
So it means that if I have:
timeout --kill-after=10 0 ./command
There won't be a KILL after 10s, since the duration itself is 0.
There's no word about that --kill-after=0 disabling the KILL in the
duration != 0 case as in:
timeout --kill-after=0 10 ./command
Cheers,
Chris.
