No idea. For an analysis, we need more information: timeout version, OS/kernel version, and finally of course a reproducer, i.e., the exact command line you were using. timeout works well here: $ /usr/bin/time -f '%e' timeout 2.3 sleep 4.5 Command exited with non-zero status 124 2.30
I tested coreutils-8.30 built from source on AIX 7.2, both 64 bit and 32 bit, and both work fine: $ file src/timeout src/timeout: 64-bit XCOFF executable or object module not stripped $ /usr/bin/time ./src/timeout 2.3 sleep 5 Real 2.31 User 0.00 System 0.00 $ file src/timeout src/timeout: executable (RISC System/6000) or object module not stripped $ /usr/bin/time ./src/timeout 2.3 sleep 5 Real 2.30 User 0.00 System 0.00 Perhaps it is a problem in the RPM package? Please try to build from source code and see if you see experience the issue. regards, - assaf
