I am currently using this cool library for a program of mine to execute shell commands in the background. But now I stumbled across a case where I miss a function.
A command that is executed hangs in case of an error instead of terminating itself. It would be very handy if you could also set a timeout for a command after which the process is automatically terminated if it is still running.

Do you think such a feature is realizable? And if not, can you think of a workaround to work around the problem?

Thank you in advance and best regards, Max.
