Bug ID: 10571
Summary: busybox timeout options is not compatible with
coreutils timeout
Product: Busybox
Version: 1.27.x
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Other
Assignee: unassigned at busybox.net
Reporter: d77190 at mail.ru
CC: busybox-cvs at busybox.net
Target Milestone: ---
Here is the problem:
# ./busybox timeout --help
BusyBox v1.27.2 (2017-12-10 11:45:39 +07) multi-call binary.
Usage: timeout [-t SECS] [-s SIG] PROG ARGS
Runs PROG. Sends SIG to it if it is not gone in SECS seconds.
Defaults: SECS: 10, SIG: TERM.
# LANG=C timeout --help
Usage: timeout [OPTION] DURATION COMMAND [ARG]...
or: timeout [OPTION]
Start COMMAND, and kill it if still running after DURATION.
I think that better way is to use first arg as timeout if -t option is not
specified (and ignore -k option that missing in busybox timeout).
