A little script to run a command wrapped in a timeout. The command will be terminated after the timeout expired

forkify.rb

max_runtime = ARGV.shift.to_i

pid = Kernel.fork do
  `#{ARGV.join(" ")}`
end

trap :CHLD do
  puts 'Child exited'
  exit
end

sleep max_runtime

puts 'Timeout expired, killing process'

Process.kill(:TERM, pid)

main.sh

ruby forkify.rb 600 bundle exec rake test
