<h1> The <tt>s6-maximumtime</tt> program </h1>

<p>
 s6-maximumtime executes a program with a time limit.
</p>

<h2> Interface </h2>

<pre>
     s6-maximumtime [ -0 | -a | -b | -i | -k | -q | -t | -x | -1 | -2 ] <em>milli</em> <em>prog...</em>
</pre>

<ul>
 <li> s6-maximumtime forks and execs <em>prog...</em> as a child. </li>
 <li> If <em>milli</em> milliseconds elapse before <em>prog</em> exits,
s6-maximumtime sends it a signal and exits 99 with a message. </li>
 <li> Else s6-maximumtime exits with the same exit code as <em>prog</em>. </li>
</ul>

<h2> Options </h2>

<ul>
 <li> <tt>-0</tt>&nbsp;: on timeout, do not send any signal, just exit </li>
 <li> <tt>-a</tt>&nbsp;: on timeout, send a SIGALRM </li>
 <li> <tt>-b</tt>&nbsp;: on timeout, send a SIGABRT </li>
 <li> <tt>-i</tt>&nbsp;: on timeout, send a SIGINT </li>
 <li> <tt>-k</tt>&nbsp;: on timeout, send a SIGKILL </li>
 <li> <tt>-q</tt>&nbsp;: on timeout, send a SIGQUIT </li>
 <li> <tt>-t</tt>&nbsp;: on timeout, send a SIGTERM - this is the default </li>
 <li> <tt>-x</tt>&nbsp;: on timeout, send a SIGXCPU </li>
 <li> <tt>-1</tt>&nbsp;: on timeout, send a SIGUSR1 </li>
 <li> <tt>-2</tt>&nbsp;: on timeout, send a SIGUSR2 </li>
</ul>

<h2> Notes </h2>

<ul>
 <li> If <em>milli</em> is 0, then it's interpreted as infinite: no time
limit will be enforced. </li>
</ul>
