deadline is a simple utility for controlling application working time. Unlike timeout, deadline sends KILL signal for main processes and all child processes. This feature is very useful for shell scripts.

To build the deadline from scratch, make sure you have a working Go 1.19+ workspace (instructions), then:

go install github.com/essentialkaos/deadline@latest

sudo yum install -y https://pkgs.kaos.st/kaos-repo-latest.el$(grep 'CPE_NAME' /etc/os-release | tr -d '"' | cut -d':' -f5).noarch.rpm
sudo yum install deadline

You can download prebuilt binaries for Linux from EK Apps Repository.

To install the latest prebuilt version, do:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://apps.kaos.st/get) deadline

Usage: deadline {options} time:signal command…
