Subject: How to timeout a system call


Hi,

I would like to stop a system call after a timeout, but doing so with
the Timeout library does not kill the process, and the process keeps
running. I think the problem is the system call does a Process.fork and
no way to kill it, no matter if the Thread is stoped.

Is there any way to kill the process? May be getting its pid?

Thanks,

Jordi
