Oh, so that's something like timeout (as distributed in coreutils on GNU/Linux systems, and according to man pages available on the web also on *BSD etc)?

  $ timeout -s 9 5s md5sum /dev/zero
  Killed

seriously, I don't get it why I should use another big node script when there is timeout

Agreed. I usually end up doing the opposite in node, whenever there is an existing *nix tool for a job, I'll spawn that from my node process rather than reimplementing it. Node's child process machinery is the best I've seen so far.

(Disclaimer: I'm a node contributor)

This seems severely over-engineered.

Can this be used to make a realtime javascript system?
