[Piuparts-devel] Bug#640647: TODO item: "Kill children after a timeout to make sure the, test doesn't run forever"

[Scott Schaefer]

Package: piuparts
Version: 0.41
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Attached patch addresses TODO item in subject

Note the max time is controlled by a hard-coded value in
piuparts-slave (MAX_WAIT_TEST_RUN), which I set to 45
minutes. Please adjust based on your better judgement.

This may/will(?) require some additional mods in the reporting
scripts to detect. When a process is killed after the max wait
period, the log has the following appended:

*** Process KILLED - exceed maximum run time ***
