Assume that i have to execute a binary file
so i do
./binaryfilename
Now there is a chance that the execution may run into an infinite loop.
What i want is that if the execution has not completed in 10 seconds then
it should be aborted and i should get some kind of signal for incomplete
execution.
For example say you need to kill a process after waiting for ten secs or
so... you can try pushing it into back ground something like this..
./binaryfile &
pid=$!
sleep 10
kill -9 $pid
