Definitely not LiveCode - LiveCode runs the shell process until it ends 
on all platforms its implemented on (I'll leave it for another day to 
ponder whether there should be some sort of timeout to account for 
rogue/hung processes!)

Doing a quick google for variants of "The process ... exceeded the 
timeout of 10 seconds" - then there are various results relating to 
Laravel - which is a PHP framework. So are you shell'ing to PHP? If so 
my guess is that whatever PHP script you are running is using 
sub-processes too, and has a process timeout set to 10s.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
