Overview
Pure timeout:
...
local timeout_sec=...
local t0=$(date '+%s')
local remaining=$(expr ${timeout_sec} + ${t0} - "$(date '+%s')")
while [[ ${remaining} -gt 0 ]]; do
debug "remaining ${remaining} secs ..."
sleep 1
remaining=$(expr ${timeout_sec} + ${t0} - "$(date '+%s')")
done
Same thing, simpler:
local t0
t0=$(date '+%s')
local timeout_secs=10
while [[ $(expr ${timeout_secs} + ${t0} - "$(date '+%s')") -gt 0 ]]; do
echo "."
sleep 2
done
Loop until a command succeeds or a timeout occurs.
