in reply to Re: (Zigster) Timing out shell commands (paranoia)
in thread Timing out shell commands (paranoia)
Your "gentle tap" suggestion is a good idea (esp if
timeouts are short).
I get sloppy with kill 9, since I tend to give long
timeouts usually just as sanity checks. If they
ever trigger, the child is usually at the point where
anything other than 9 won't do much.
Thanks.
