in thread Run and kill external programm after x seconds
Hi,
my problem is that I run an external program X (I do not have control of this program X) and I get output from this program X. This program X may dies or don't give answer for hours.
I would like to wait for e.g. 60 seconds and if there is no new input from this program X it should be closed/killed and my perl program should go on with next steps.
kind regards, de michi
