how to implement timeout on vista

Li Chen

Hi all,

I am sorry if this post is duplicated.


Here is what I try to do: get input from terminal/console. If waiting
for 3 seconds and no input is given, then stop this process and print
out a message of 'Timeout!!!'

I tried 'timeout' from the library but it doesn't work.I wonder how I
implement timeout process on vista.

Thank you very much in advance,

Li

Thanks.

I try terminator on my PC with Vista. I don't think it works. If I put
'input=gets' and without giving the input it will hang there for ever.

################ I have to use Ctrl+break to stop the script after 2 min
were passed.
