如何限制BASH脚本的运行时间

我有一个长期运行的BASH脚本,我在Windows上运行CYGWIN.

我想限制脚本运行30秒,如果超过此限制则自动终止.理想情况下,我希望能够对任何命令执行此操作.

例如:

sh-3.2$ limittime -t 30 'myscript.sh'

要么

sh-3.2$ limittime -t 30 'grep func *.c'

在cygwin下,ulimit命令似乎不起作用.

我对任何想法持开放态度.

请参阅http://www.pixelbeat.org/scripts/timeout脚本,其功能已集成到较新的coreutils中:

#!/bin/sh

# Execute a command with a timeout

# License: LGPLv2
# Author:
#    http://www.pixelbeat.org/
# Notes:
#    Note there is a timeout command packaged with coreutils since v7.0
#    If the timeout occurs the exit status is 124.
#    There is an asynchronous (and buggy) equivalent of this
#    script packaged with bash (under /usr/share/doc/ in my distro),
#    which I only noticed after writing this.
#    I noticed later again that there is a C equivalent of this packaged
#    with satan by Wietse Venema, and copied to forensics by Dan Farmer.
# Changes:
#    V1.0, Nov  3 2006, Initial release
#    V1.1, Nov 20 2007, Brad Greenlee 
#                       Make more portable by using the 'CHLD'
#                       signal spec rather than 17.
#    V1.3, Oct 29 2009, Ján Sáreník 
#                       Even though this runs under dash,ksh etc.
#                       it doesn't actually timeout. So enforce bash for now.
#                       Also change exit on timeout from 128 to 124
#                       to match coreutils.
#    V2.0, Oct 30 2009, Ján Sáreník 
#                       Rewritten to cover compatibility with other
#                       Bourne shell implementations (pdksh, dash)
