But if the command hangs, the only thing that the time command will
do is record how long the program is 'executing' or not for that
matter. I need to term the offensive command and return a code that
this has happened. The reason being I don't want to wait for the
system to time out the command as it takes too long to time out. I
would know in a matter of seconds rather than the systems minutes
whether the command is hung or not.
