+/* timeout - Start a command, and kill it if the specified timeout expires
+
+ We try to behave like a shell starting a single (foreground) job,
+ and will kill the job if we receive the alarm signal we setup.
+ The exit status of the job is returned, or one of these errors:
+ EXIT_TIMEDOUT 124 job timed out
+ EXIT_CANCELED 125 internal error
+ EXIT_CANNOT_INVOKE 126 error executing job
+ EXIT_ENOENT 127 couldn't find job to exec
+
+ Caveats:
+ If user specifies the KILL (9) signal is to be sent on timeout,
+ the monitor is killed and so exits with 128+9 rather than 124.
+
+ If you start a command in the background, which reads from the tty
+ and so is immediately sent SIGTTIN to stop, then the timeout
+ process will ignore this so it can timeout the command as expected.
+ This can be seen with 'timeout 10 dd&' for example.
+ However if one brings this group to the foreground with the 'fg'
+ command before the timer expires, the command will remain
+ in the stop state as the shell doesn't send a SIGCONT
+ because the timeout process (group leader) is already running.
+ To get the command running again one can Ctrl-Z, and do fg again.
+ Note one can Ctrl-C the whole job when in this state.
+ I think this could be fixed but I'm not sure the extra
+ complication is justified for this scenario.
