Top posting aside (as well as Martin's obsessive "sic-ness"), consider
that there are two loops involved in the script and a number of
tangental functions as well. I need to evaluate a timeout within the
inner loop. Timing out the entire script does not help.
I was considering running pcntl functions, but is not installed on
this server.
