我提出了一个问题，以保留shell上下文和允许超时，唯一的问题是它将停止脚本执行超时-但这是我提出的需求很好:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

safe_kill()
{
  ps aux | grep -v grep | grep $1 >/dev/null && kill ${2:-} $1
}

my_timeout()
{
  typeset _my_timeout _waiter_pid _return
  _my_timeout=$1
  echo "Timeout($_my_timeout) running: $*"
  shift
  (
    trap "return 0" USR1
    sleep $_my_timeout
    echo "Timeout($_my_timeout) reached for: $*"
    safe_kill $$
  ) &
  _waiter_pid=$!
  "$@" || _return=$?
  safe_kill $_waiter_pid -USR1
  echo "Timeout($_my_timeout) ran: $*"
  return ${_return:-0}
}

my_timeout 3 cd scripts
my_timeout 3 pwd
my_timeout 3 true  && echo true || echo false
my_timeout 3 false && echo true || echo false
my_timeout 3 sleep 10
my_timeout 3 pwd

输出:

Timeout(3) running: 3 cd scripts
Timeout(3) ran: cd scripts
Timeout(3) running: 3 pwd
/home/mpapis/projects/rvm/rvm/scripts
Timeout(3) ran: pwd
Timeout(3) running: 3 true
Timeout(3) ran: true
true
Timeout(3) running: 3 false
Timeout(3) ran: false
false
Timeout(3) running: 3 sleep 10
Timeout(3) reached for: sleep 10
Terminated

当然，我认为有一个目录叫做脚本

我认为这正是你所要求的:

http://www.bashcookbook.com/bashinfo/source/bash-4.0/examples/scripts/timeout3

#!/bin/bash
#
# The Bash shell script executes a command with a time-out.
# Upon time-out expiration SIGTERM (15) is sent to the process. If the signal
# is blocked, then the subsequent SIGKILL (9) terminates it.
#
# Based on the Bash documentation example.

# Hello Chet,
# please find attached a "little easier"  :-)  to comprehend
# time-out example.  If you find it suitable, feel free to include
# anywhere: the very same logic as in the original examples/scripts, a
# little more transparent implementation to my taste.

declare -i DEFAULT_INTERVAL=1
declare -i DEFAULT_DELAY=1

# Timeout.
declare -i timeout=DEFAULT_TIMEOUT
# Interval between checks if the process is still alive.

    cat <<EOF

Synopsis
    $scriptName [-t timeout] [-i interval] [-d delay] command
    Execute a command with a time-out.
    Upon time-out expiration SIGTERM (15) is sent to the process. If SIGTERM
    signal is blocked, then the subsequent SIGKILL (9) terminates it.

    -t timeout
        Number of seconds to wait for command completion.
        Default value: $DEFAULT_TIMEOUT seconds.

    -i interval
        Interval between checks if the process is still alive.
        Positive integer, default value: $DEFAULT_INTERVAL seconds.

    -d delay
        Delay between posting the SIGTERM signal and destroying the
        process by SIGKILL. Default value: $DEFAULT_DELAY seconds.

As of today, Bash does not support floating point arithmetic (sleep does),
therefore all delay/time values must be integers.

在99%的情况下，答案是不实现任何超时逻辑。超时逻辑在几乎任何情况下都是一个红色警告信号，表明有其他地方出了问题，应该予以修复。

有时你的进程会在n秒后挂起或中断吗?然后找出原因并解决这个问题。

顺便说一句，要正确地执行strager的解决方案，您需要使用等待“$SPID”而不是fg 1，因为在脚本中您没有作业控制(试图打开它是愚蠢的)。此外，fg 1依赖于这样一个事实，即您之前没有在脚本中启动任何其他作业，这是一个糟糕的假设。

该解决方案不考虑bash监控模式。您可以使用适当的信号来终止your_command

#!/bin/sh
( your_command ) & pid=$!
( sleep $TIMEOUT && kill -HUP $pid ) 2>/dev/null & watcher=$!
wait $pid 2>/dev/null && pkill -HUP -P $watcher

监控器在给定超时后终止your_command;脚本等待慢速任务并终止监视程序。注意，wait对不同shell的子进程不起作用。

例子:

Your_command运行超过2秒并被终止

your_command打断

( sleep 20 ) & pid=$!
( sleep 2 && kill -HUP $pid ) 2>/dev/null & watcher=$!
if wait $pid 2>/dev/null; then
    echo "your_command finished"
    pkill -HUP -P $watcher
    wait $watcher
else
    echo "your_command interrupted"
fi

Your_command在超时前完成(20秒)

your_command完成

( sleep 2 ) & pid=$!
( sleep 20 && kill -HUP $pid ) 2>/dev/null & watcher=$!
if wait $pid 2>/dev/null; then
    echo "your_command finished"
    pkill -HUP -P $watcher
    wait $watcher
else
    echo "your_command interrupted"
fi

#! /bin/bash
timeout=10
interval=1
delay=3
(
    ((t = timeout)) || :

    while ((t > 0)); do
        echo "$t"
        sleep $interval
        # Check if the process still exists.
        kill -0 $$ 2> /dev/null || exit 0
        ((t -= interval)) || :
    done

    # Be nice, post SIGTERM first.
    { echo SIGTERM to $$ ; kill -s TERM $$ ; sleep $delay ; kill -0 $$ 2> /dev/null && { echo SIGKILL to $$ ; kill -s KILL $$ ; } ; }
) &

exec "$@"

我的问题可能有点不同:我在远程机器上通过ssh启动一个命令，如果命令挂起，我想杀死shell和子程序。

我现在使用以下方法:

ssh server '( sleep 60 && kill -9 0 ) 2>/dev/null & my_command; RC=$? ; sleep 1 ; pkill -P $! ; exit $RC'

这样，当有超时时，命令返回255，如果成功，则返回命令的returncode

请注意，从ssh会话中杀死进程的处理方式与交互式shell不同。但是您也可以使用-t选项为ssh分配一个伪终端，这样它就像一个交互式shell
