How to terminate a command in exec() by timer?

Question

linux

How to terminate a process that is hung or considered to be time-hung by exec(). Or perhaps there is a command that will calculate the time and if it exceeds the value for example 10 seconds, force it to end, please tell me

Answer 1

I see several options:

1. Develop a script in such a way that it does not have to be terminated in such a draconian way
   
2. Make a fallback script. Those. you can send the script the start date and check when it becomes more - disable
   
3. A third party script that will monitor running scripts and kill
