title: Linux commands - abort operation with timeout
body: <p>I'm writing a script and at some point I call to "command1" which
  does not stop until it CTRL+C is invoked. </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is there a way to state a timeout for a command? Like:
  command1 arguments -timeout 10</li>
  <li>How do I write a CTRL+C command in textual form?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thx!</p>
