A while ago on alt.sources there were a flurry of short programs to
'timeout' a command after it had run for a certain amount of time.

I wonder if anyone has a similar thing which times out after the
command has accumulated a certain amount of CPU time?  As far as I can
tell from the man pages, this is a very different thing from waiting a
given elapsed time and killing it.

Any pointers would be appreciated.  If it matters, I'm running SunOS
4.0.1. Thanks.
