Description

Hello, I would like to request the "timeout" command ported to MacPorts. I feel it is a perfect complement to the time command.

See man page from the original: http://www.unix.com/man-page/freebsd/9/timeout/

Ok. That page refers to a program called timeout, which is apparently part of a package called tct, The Coroner's Toolkit. That page refers to tct 1.11. The current version of tct is 1.19, available here. tct has apparently been superseded by sleuthkit, for which we already have a port. However, our sleuthkit port does not include a command called timeout, nor does the sleuthkit source contain any such command. Not sure whether sleuthkit renamed the command, or simply doesn't provide it.
