Timeout for a shell command?

Jim, from the curl manual:
--connect-timeout <seconds>
Maximum time in seconds that you allow the
connection to the
server to take. This only limits the connection
phase, once
curl has connected this option is of no more use. See
also the
-m/--max-time option.
-m/--max-time <seconds>
Maximum time in seconds that you allow the whole
operation to
take. This is useful for preventing your batch jobs
from hang-
ing for hours due to slow networks or links going
down. This
doesn't work fully in win32 systems. See also the
--connect-
timeout option.
Best,
Matk
