(bash experts) how to combine time & timeout

[Lynx]

I am wanting to profile different bash scripts for CPU usage. I want to use:

time timeout 30 ./test.sh

But then time gives the CPU usage of .timeout and not 'test.sh' as desired?

How can I fix?

[frollic]

put the timeout within the script ?

That's an option true (albeit not easy in my specific situation). But there is surely a way to make this work. If I run:

time ./test.sh

and hit ctrl-c it works.

If I run:

timeout -s TERM 1 time ./test.sh

I don't see the output of time.

[pavelgl]

time ./test.sh | timeout 30 ./test.sh

[root@mail ~]# time ./ping.scr | timeout 2 ./ping.scr

Thanks. I will mark your idea as a solution, but in the end I used:

timeout -s INT 10 time ./test.sh

The issue was getting timeout to issue the correct signal (simulating the same effect as running manually with 'time ./test.sh' and pressing Ctrl-C.
