title: defining timeout on execution of shell/python script
body: <p>I am having an issue with execution of my python script which are getting called from Shell script. Since due to some issue execution of one Python script is taking huge amount of time.. 
  Now in this case I would like to setup a timeout on my python script where if its taking more then "n" minute, execution of current script should terminate and move to next script execution. </p>
  
  <pre><code>MasterScript.sh file contain multiple Python scripts  like
  
  script1.py 
  script2.py  - this script is taking more time.. if it more then 5 minute, script execution should terminiate and move to next one.
  script3.py
  </code></pre>
