Instead of randomly killing processes, use command `timeout` *solved* #257

Closed mikkorantalainen closed 2 years ago

The script launches wineprocesses and then proceeds to kill them using a regex later. For example:

Instead of doing hacks like this, how about using command timeout instead?

If you executed the original wine command as

WINEPREFIX=.... timeout -k 10m 9m wine ...

would send SIGTERM to the wine process after 9 minutes and SIGKILL after 10 minutes if the process is still running. See man timeout for details.

Okay, I got it and took a look. :+1: 

WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.fusion360 timeout -k 2m 1m winecfg

and then I checked the value with:

echo $?

Then I got the exit code 124. This value is the timeout used to indicate the program has terminated using SIGTERM. When SIGKILL terminates the program, the exit code is 137.
