 Easy way is to do a killall (see the man page how to use it), of course
 this would kill the current process too.
 
 A more advanced is to have a process list (file) where you store the
 process number each time that a script is run, the script then kills all
 the processes in the list except its own, clear out the processes it has
 killed.

 Time out is for web servers only, if you want to do a time out thing in
 cli scripts, then you need to build it yourself into your scripts.
